It examines contemporary cultural understandings of health, illness and the body while linking these to social changes and the growth of digital technologies and social media.Aligned with the requirements of the updated NMC Standards of Proficiency for Nurses, this book will support the reader in considering modern healthcare systems and institutions, and their role in either reproducing or challenging inequalities of health. It encourages the reader to critically reflect on their own role within them and how they themselves can help to effect positive change.
