The fields of health care and social care are currently facing considerable challenges and public debate across the globe. Glasby's clear and succinct book offers a valuable introductory guide to this multidisciplinary subject, helping people who want to study or work in health and social care understand why these services matter, how they have developed, and how they work today. Framed by vital historical and social policy context, this book considers: the social context for the delivery of health and social care; the history and nature of current services; the organization for funding and delivering services; and how to be a practicing professional in the field.
