This insightful volume examines how the principles and practice of person-centred care can extend to operate at the level of community health and wellbeing.
Split into three parts, the book articulates the conditions whereby community-centred health and wellbeing can be made possible, discussing issues such as capacity building, community participation, determinants of health (social, economic and cultural), and the political landscape around governmental and non-governmental organizations. The first part sets the context, highlighting the reorientation of care from a bio-medical model to a psychosocial one. The second part outlines a number of different approaches through which community-centred health and wellbeing can be fostered, while the final part features some of these approach in action, from social prescribing and adult education to early childhood visiting and integrated care technology for older people.
Thought-provoking and cohesive, this important collection will interest students, scholars, policy makers and voluntary organizations working across Public Health, Social Care and Community Development.
"Phelan and Lloyd have assembled a highly informative and readable text that focuses first on what the concept of equitable, person centred care can actually mean and then how to operationalise that in practice. They provide living examples from community action researchers in several countries and across the life course, but particularly focused on the care of older people. I expect this to be a go-to publication that will be widely used by health professionals across many caring disciplines." — Cecily Kelleher, Professor of Public Health Medicine & Epidemiology, School of Public Health, Physiotherapy and Sports Science, University College Dublin
"The authors offer a comprehensive and integrative overview of the diverse perspectives and contexts that together form a compelling vision of person-centred care as a collective endeavour. […] This is an invaluable contribution to the field, providing a nuanced understanding of 'community' as a dynamic network of shared identity, mutuality and evolving relationships, rather than a fixed geographical space.” — Axel Wolf, Professor, Senior consultant Anesthesia (CRNA) & Affiliated researcher at the University of Gothenburg Centre for Person-Centred Care (GPCC).
