'Dancing on Ice?- a Journey Toward Partnership in Healthcare; a Patient’s Perspective Intended as a learning resource; to motivate,and to inspire clinical students, and trainers, healthcare policymakers and practitioners.Most texts about health services are written by academic writers, who recommend particular models from policy to practice.Few texts are written from a (micro) patient’s perspective,which explore the experience of illness within its many social contexts.This lively,tongue-in-cheek, docu-soap-style will also strike a chord with anyone who has had the misfortune to be a patient! Rosie, the central character blazes a trail of hope, engaging the talents of health-co-workers,a Consultant Clinician,and two Managers in building partnership.'Dancing on Ice...' underlines the fragility of clinician-patient relationships in time-bound situations.Rosie is on a quest... She draws on examples from traditional farming practices and education, along with contemporary health-based care.Whilst negotiating the 'snakes and ladders' of her own care she is constantly asking,What is/should be the nature of that care? It’s about how we communicate with each other. If communication is better joined-up, then the National Health Service( and any healthcare service) can be more sustainable and value-for-money.This focus makes 'Dancing on Ice...' a 'must have' item for clinical and medical trainers and students. It will also have appeal for sociology, psychology and organisational learning fields, with its qualitative research approaches.The author’s express wish is that anyone and everyone reading this book will be enabled to take a step forward in their lives.
