Synopsis

Traditional values and attitudes still influence current nursing practice although the role of the nurse at all levels is changing. Nurses are under great pressure to improve the quality of patient care and to make their service more responsive to individual needs. The process of this change is not without its own problems and until now, little guidance has been offered to nurses on how to implement patient-centred care within current clinical practice. Drawing on some unique action research with many real life examples, "Freedom to Practise" identifies practical strategies for making step-by-step changes and improvements to patient care irrespective of specialty. It: includes comprehensive insight into the changing culture of ward life; helps the nurse to analyse current practice and effectively implement changes; presents strategies for the development of patient-centred practice on the ward; and serves as an essential guide for nurses of all levels who wish to develop their careers in nursing. 'Within the context of my thirty plus years of experience in this particular field, I have never read a more thorough, more interesting, or more practical discussion of the practice development process.' - Marie Manthey.

Revue de presse

'... Freedom to Practise (Binnie and Titchen, 1999), the best book on nursing I have read for a long time.'
Jane Salvage, Nursing Times, November 2000

'Within the context of my thirty years plus of experience in this particular field, I have never read a more thorough, more interesting, or more practical discussion of the practice development process.'
Marie Manthey

'... there are nurses who continue to grapple with the problem of how a patient-centred service can be successfully developed and for me, the most influential is Alison Binnie. Last year Alison Binnie and Angie Titchen published the results of an action research study on the development of patient-centred care in their book "Freedom to Practice". This book motivated, inspired and excited me because it describes the logistical problems of changing nursing practice that reflect my own experiences. It tells it like it really is.'
