- Based on three years of research and funding from the Health Foundation to develop original but accessible philosophical scholarship, this book provides an extended and in-depth elucidation of how and why growing discourses around ‘person-centredness’ represent a philosophical transition in healthcare. It offers new critical insights on the fundamental architecture and implications of this transition, covering a range of linked but distinct themes, including demedicalisation, shared-decision making, personalisation and integration of services, each comprising a chapter. Overall, it argues that navigating this transition depends upon developing a ‘learning healthcare system’ of a much more expansive kind than is normally envisaged.
