Members of this list may be interested in two new titles, now available
from The Policy Press.
The political economy of health care: A clinical perspective
Julian Tudor Hart
In the first title of the new Health and Society series, distinguished
doctor and author Julian Tudor Hart offers a passionate analysis of the
historical development, current state and potential future shape of the
National Health Service. Particularly, he explores how the NHS might be
reconstituted as a humane service for all (rather than a profitable one for
the few) and a civilising influence on society as a whole.
The author's aim is to provide 'a big picture' for students, academics,
health professionals and NHS users that will inspire them to challenge
received wisdoms about how the NHS should develop in the 21st century.
What works in tackling health inequalities?: Pathways, policies and
practice through the lifecourse
Sheena Asthana and Joyce Halliday
In recent years, tackling health inequalities has become a key policy
objective in the UK, but doubts remain about how best to translate broad
recommendations into practice.
This book identifies the key targets for intervention through a detailed
exploration of the pathways and processes that give rise to health
inequalities across the lifecourse. It sets this against an examination of
both local practice and the national policy context, describing key policy
initiatives, assessing research evidence of 'what works' and examining the
limitations of the existing evidence base. Authoritative yet accessible, it
provides a comprehensive account of theory, policy and practice.
