Synopsis
Davies (health care, the Open U., UK) presents 12 papers that examine trends affecting the different players in the healthcare workforce of the UK. Beginning with an examination of patients as an unacknowledged workforce, the papers go on to examine changing health care structures and the positions of informal carers, the clinical workforce, primary care workers, surgical specialists, public health workers, health care assistants, alternative medicine practitioners, general practitioners, and pharmacists. The work concludes with an overview of the trends affecting the health workforce as a whole. Annotation © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
