  In his latest book, David Seedhouse demonstrates tangibly and graphically how ethics and health care are inextricably bound together. With the use of accessible and relevant case studies, he creates a solid theoretical basis for practical decision- making which not only clarifies the subject of ethics but, with the aid of his 'Ethical Grid', teaches an important practical skill which health care professionals can apply in day-to-day practice. Intended for all who work in the field of health care or health studies - indeed for anyone with an interest in health-related issues - this is a highly original, innovative and readable work on a subject traditionally regarded as obscure and inaccessible. It clarifies a wide variety of complex ethical issues in a modern context and is designed to give the reader new confidence in dealing with the demands and responsibilities of health work.
