Description
Book SynopsisLearning is most powerful when it is both hard work and fun. This usually means that it is interactive and based on experience challenging but at the same time possible. This book presents a wide variety of games activities and techniques that any teacher tutor or team leader can use to help others learn. Each of the chapters has a short introduction followed by several exercises that are interactive fun and will reinforce learning in knowledge skills and attitudes. The tools provided describe not only how to do an exercise but also when with whom what will make it work well what can go wrong and give insights into the impact it might make. The authors are experienced in leading teams planning and providing education and the tools are tried and tested in real teaching and learning situations. The ideas can be used in and across all disciplines and settings.
Trade Review"'A truly patient centred - and concordant - medical practice needs to start from a genuine professional awareness and understanding of the patient perspective. In particular, it should acknowledge the central importance of attending to the patient's experience of illness as an arbitrary and capricious manifestation of misfortune, rather than an occasion for the attribution of blame and personal irresponsibility. Only then will there be a chance for the reorientation of the professional preoccupation with non-compliance as a technical problem of defective patient behaviour towards an acceptance of the radical shift in underlying philosophy and culture that is required for the development of a genuinely concordant medical practice.' Kristian Pollock"
