Inclusive Practice for Health Professionals

Inclusive Practice: Sociological Concepts for Health Professionals introduces students to the socio-political implications of the work they will be doing within the healthcare sector. It embraces the multi-disciplinary nature of work in the health professions, and applies the term inclusive practice to focus attention on its relevance to all health care professionals with the shared aim of improving health outcomes. The text considers the interface between health care delivery, health care professionals and population groups, while providing a critical approach to examining the strategies for inclusive practice in contemporary Australian health care.
