Description

"Whole person care - integrating physical, social and mental care in a preventative and person-centred system - is potentially Labour's big idea to go into the 2015 election with. The concept has already gained wide support among health professionals, policy experts, campaigners, practitioners and political advocates, who have united to welcome the approach. However, big questions remain around how to turn it from an interesting idea into a credible programme for government. To inform the development of the whole person care agenda, Andy Burnham MP, the shadow health secretary, brings together a range of independent experts to explore the policy implications of integrated health and social care. Their essays do not represent Labour party policy, but outline the key areas that will need to be addressed in order to develop a coherent and effective 'whole person' approach to health and social care."--publsiher's description.
