| Summary |
"Health care is increasingly in the political and public spotlight, and organisational changes to improve patient care mean that the roles of doctors and nurses are under scrutiny. As a result, health care work is changing: the pre-eminence of the doctor is being challenged, nurses have increased decision-making power and interdisciplinary working is advocated. But how are these changes working in practice?" "Power and Conflict between Doctors and Nurses is based on in-depth research in three UK intensive care centres." "The book will be of interest to academics and students of health and nursing, while the practice approach of the study makes it an invaluable resource for nurses and doctors looking to work collaboratively in clinical teams."--BOOK JACKET |
