This book discusses the central role that social
care staff have in promoting the health and well being of service users, both in preventative
work and in facilitating contact with health professionals.
The book also provides social care staff with information about a
number of specific medical conditions and highlights many of the implications for

One of the main themes of this publication is the importance of
seeing each person as an individual whose identity must not be lost under a label.
