Care facilities often reflect the multifaith and multicultural nature of society, not least in a very diverse population of health and social care staff and care-recipients. This book, written by expert practitioners from 11 different world faiths, helps health and social care-givers to articulate and reflect on how their own faith informs the way they work. It also helps develop understanding of what shapes the choices made by their colleagues and care-recipients from other faith traditions.
The book will equip care practitioners to be reflective in relation to matters of ethics, faith and care and to feel more confident regarding their own, and their colleagues, underpinning beliefs.
