<p>"Medical Humanities is the use of literature in medical and paramedical education. It revolves around the discussion of prose and poetry referring to health and healthcare, in the context of informal group workshops. It can also be used as a mechanism for reflective practice. Within this environment it precipitates reflection and possible solutions to problems in areas of communication within healthcare settings." "The range covered can include the patient-carer relationship, tensions between colleagues and problems with the management structure of institutions. It can be applied to most aspects of professional issues where a conflict arises between best professional practice and perceived human needs." "The structure of Ethical Dilemmas in Healthcare includes the essentials for setting up a Medical Humanities group. These groups provide a 'safe' forum in which people specializing in different disciplines can talk and compare perspectives." "Ethical Dilemmas in Healthcare will be invaluable to any healthcare professional interested in raising collective awareness in clinical practice. This will include practising nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, doctors and all those in the caring professions."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
