Description

This books examines the nature, generation & development of professional knowledge in the health professions with particular emphasis on physiotherapy,occupational therapy,medicine & nursing.- J.Higgs, B.Richardon, M.Abrandt Dhalgren (2004)240pp/30ill.

More than ever the rapidly changing worlds of work and society are challenging the knowledge bases of the health professions and the capacity of health professionals to critique and develop their knowledge to meet community needs.

The responsible, intelligent and creative use of such knowledge is more important now than it ever has been, and an awareness of the nature of knowledge and the principles of its acquisition is essential to meeting these challenges.

'Developing Practice Knowledge for Health Professionals' is written by distinguished experts who have taught, researched and written extensively in this area.

In a series of lively and stimulating essays designed to provoke reflection and grounded in awareness of the need for an evidence base, it examines three core areas:

- What constitutes practice knowledge?

- How is this knowledge created and developed?

- What roles do health professionals play in understanding and developing their practice knowledge?

Readers, whether from practice, educational or research backgrounds, will find their perception of practice knowledge developed in ways which will inform and enhance their professional activities at every level.
