A comprehensive text exploring a range of topics in relation to health and social care. The global perspective is particularly useful when drawing comparisons relating to culture. I will be using this text book across a number of modules including, Substance Misuse, Introduction to Research, Social Inclusion, Health Promotion and Health Leadership.
