The content from the book gave a broad understanding of how health care professionals can care for individuals living with long term conditions. It highlighted the barriers and challenges they face daily and ways we can support individuals to live a life that is fulfilling for them. The knowledge I have gained from this has been incredibly valuable, which I will take forward into my practice.
A thought-provoking read
It is refreshing to see so many important issues brought together in an easily read format. […] The book does a great job of introducing concepts before engaging the reader with a scenario or a case study … [I like] the use of ‘Experts by Experience’ throughout the book (as it brings the subject to life), and the friendly and accessible style of writing.

We have adopted this book as essential and recommended reading as it aligns with much of the syllabus and learning outcomes of the module.
This series of books are effective for teaching and learning, with a very approachable level of difficulty and interest. This book is surprisingly comprehensive and focusses on the various factors which interplay and make up complex care. It was pleasing to note that the perspectives from child and learning disabilities nursing were also included.
Some good pointers and models of care to consider when explaining to students the complexity of care delivery
Essential text to support my current field in regards to learning and teaching complex care.
