Values & Visions

change are suggested. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The aim of this book is to highlight and explore key issues in the field of learning difficulties which have been neglected during recent changes in NHS
community services. It will be of great relevance for all practitioners and students who wish to improve the care they offer to their clients. Four main sections cover changes to peoples daily lives, changes in practice, changing issues and changing
strategies. Specialists present an authorative review of current thinking and research and, drawing on their experience of leading edge projects; suggest where there may be practical opportunities for professionals to take action. * Challenges
professionals tolearn from, and develop their practice * Discusses topics of key concern, e.g. medication, housing, employment, equal opportunities * Offers a policy perspective * Demonstrates the implications of reforms and constraints for the NHS and
community care Fantastic, superb and monumental are words that sprang to mind when I first read Values & Visions. In a short review it is almost impossible to give full credit to Values & Visions. It is a must buy not only for those working in
services for people with learning disabilities, but for all those working in human services. - Nursing Times, September 1995 This excellent book is devided into four parts:: changing lives, changing practice, changing issues and changing strategies.
The book is essential reading for all professionals and the editors should be proud of their final product. - Practice Nurse Journal, January 1996 This book is a worthy successor to previous writings on these themes. Perhaps here is also an agenda for
a new government. - Community Care, November 1995
