workers and other health care professionals. These include: aspects of caring
in a competitive financial environment; caring as a managed professional
practice; issues of professional power; and the shift towards care in the
community. The aim of this text is to stimulate debate and discussion, and it
should be of particular use to undergraduates of nursing, midwifery, social
work, social care and other related disciplines. This is an examination of the shift in care theory and philosophy that has
taken place, and some of the core issues that are now affecting nurses, social
workers and other health care professionals. These include caring in a
