Reviews for Advocacy in Health Care
"Kevin Teasdale opens the eyes of the sceptics among healthcare professionals to the fundamentals of advocacy in a manner that is stimulating and non-confrontational" "This book is a good read for all those currently acting as advocates. With its clear explanations of all the parameters surrounding the field, through to guidelines for training and development, as well as practice, it is as useful to those who currently practise advocacy as those who are considering taking on this worthy mantle. " Health Service Journal “The book is ideally suited to the needs of nurses. For students, often unsupported as they begin to grapple with some of the dilemmas discussed…this could be an invaluable text.” Journal of Interprofessional Care
