A Flourishing Practice? looks at the moral problems that currently seem prevalent in health care. Common moral dilemmas highlighted by the media include threats to continuity of care, inappropriate care at the end of life, problems associated with commercialisation and privatisation of health care, defensiveness and risk aversion, and unrealistic expectations of care. The author argues that these all arise from a fundamental fragmentation of the value systems guiding our lives. The solution to these crises of professionalism and the pervading sense of moral crisis is the creation of a shared narrative. In this model of health care professionals and patients work together to cultivate the personal qualities that they need to flourish. 2017-03-22 23:55 2020-01-28 12:53:43 2020-04-01T13:46:00Z 2020-04-01T13:46:00Z 2014 book 625890 OCN: 904517992 9780850843903 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/45645 eng application/pdf n/a 625890.pdf Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) 10.26530/oapen_625890 100363 10.26530/oapen_625890 19cb0de7-1771-4609-88bd-653ab175500b b818ba9d-2dd9-4fd7-a364-7f305aef7ee9 9780850843903 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) 100363 KU Select 2016 Backlist Collection Knowledge Unlatched open access
