'Though my discipline is not healthcare but risk management, the writings of David Seedhouse have enlightened my thinking and influenced my worldview in invaluable ways. A practical approach underpinned by a coherent philosophy is what we need, and David delivers yet again in this latest work.' -- Professor David Ball 'David Seedhouse has produced a strikingly honest view of where health policy makers have gone wrong but more importantly suggests an approach and ways healthcare professionals of the future can improve the quality of care for patients This is an interesting book that I was keen to read and didn't disappoint. David Seedhouse provides some challenging ideas that will make readers reflect on and question their assumptions. This is a must purchase book for undergraduate nurses. As a trainee nurse in the optimistic 90s we were encouraged to challenge practice and question ideas. In the decades that followed we were then told to blindly follow targets regardless of the reasons for them. Currently the NHS is in crisis and badly needs leaders. David Seedhouse's excellent book reignites that spirit of curiosity and sets the challenge for healthcare practitioners to really look at what is health and how in moving forward do we best provide a services that delivers the best healthcare.' -- Nick Wrycraft 'David Seedhouse is a well-known and respected author in this field and in this book delivers a corrective to the current well-meaning but erroneous views on such things as values based recruitment and the 6Cs. Any health care worker thinking critically and wanting to articulate why certain practices and values are not up to the mark would do very well in reading this. The writing style is very accessible without dumbing down. Key ideas are illustrated and examined through very appropriate case studies and think stops. This should be core reading in any nursing programme.' -- Benny Goodman
