Compare Power and Conflict Between Doctors and Nurses by Maureen A. Coombs, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Through observations in three intensive care units, this book draws on the reality of practice to explore how nurses and doctors work in intensive care settings. It examines:- the power held by the competing knowledge bases- the roles of the different professions- the decision-making process- the sources of conflict- the need for change. Drawing together sociological theories and clinical practice, Power and Conflict Between Doctors and Nursesexplores the role of nurses in delivering contemporary health care. It makes a strong case for interdisciplinary working and is particularly timely when health care policy is challenging work boundaries in health care. | Power and Conflict Between Doctors and Nurses by Maureen A.
