An understanding of the sociology of health and illness is central to effective health and social care practice. Sociological Approaches to Health, Healthcare and Nursing is a new book for pre- and post-registration nurses and allied health professionals that brings into focus the social context of their work and its social and cultural foundations.

The book introduces key social theories and concepts in an accessible way. It covers a range of contemporary post-COVID issues in health and healthcare. A central focus is the social determinants of health: the book discusses these in relation to inequality and discrimination related to social class, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity and disability. It examines contemporary cultural understandings of health, illness and the body while linking these to social changes and the growth of digital technologies and social media.

Aligned with the requirements of the updated NMC Standards of Proficiency for Nurses, this book will support the reader in considering modern healthcare systems and institutions, and their role in either reproducing or challenging inequalities of health. It encourages the reader to critically reflect on their own role within them and how they themselves can help to effect positive change.
  • Aligned to the requirements of the updated NMC Standards of Proficiency for Nurses
  • Presents a contemporary focus that takes into account changes in public health, healthcare services and health work post-pandemic
  • Case studies illustrate key issues and bring theory to life
  • Focuses on the wider determinants of health and inequalities in health and healthcare
  • Provides an understanding of the patient experience and its social and cultural context in order to support patient-centred care
  • Addresses the political and policy context of healthcare, including contemporary changes in the organisation of health services, changes in health work and changes in nursing work
  • Offers regular ‘reflection points’ to encourage critical thinking
