Reviews
The title says it all, this is patient focused and patient centred. . . This is a well written book with easy to read chapters and well referenced at the end of the chapters. [It] is a must for novices and experts, and is a must for any professional in contact with a patient. * Jane Brown, Patient Safety advisor, Worcestershire Acute NHS Trust; Nursing Times *
Individual essays are excellent from first to last, and readers are rewarded with a work characterized by mature insight and diverse perspectives that do not lose sight of the patient or the physician. Highly recommended. * Doody's Notes *
The scope of the book is wide and the editors goal of providing the reader with a concise, easy-to-read text which summarizes the complexities involved in patient care and professionalism has been achieved. Dr DeAngelis has clearly undertaken major editing of the chapters to present a consistent style while retaining the important specialist knowledge of her contributors... [The book contains] much illuminating and thought-provoking discussion about what professionalism should mean to any doctor. * British Journal of Anaesthesia *
