Overview

Firmly rooted in practice, this book is a timely exploration of the nature and value of a virtue-based approach to ethics in health and social care.

Synopsis

This much-needed text articulates the issues surrounding professional ethics using a unique virtue-based framework. It introduces core ideas, before examining a range of values and how these can be cultivated in practice. Importantly, the book retains an interprofessional feel by relating ethics to a variety of specialisms.
