Health care management is a complex discipline in today's environment. Once
you have grasped the management rules, theories and concepts, life becomes easier
as a health care professional. This book starts with the important element of
self-awareness and demonstrates how the individual interacts with the health
service and grows in confidence by developing self-management skills. The theme
develops into important concepts of team working and managing groups of people
for the benefit of quality care.
Leading on from this we consider the wider picture of total health service management
and contemporary developments that provide the changing context for the health
care professional. The book aims to offer a student-centered approach by helping
you to reflect on your learning processes and examine your assumptions. Practice
examples from a variety of disciplines highlight the application of theory to
practice
