Doctors and nurses must be sensitive to the ethical aspects of their work and understand the legal framework within which clinical decisions are made. Well developed skills of communication, with patients, their relatives and other members of the clinical team, are a key feature of good clinical practice\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil recently, the important of practice skills has been relatively neglected in health care education. This situation is changing. The UK General Medical Council, for example, has recently identified three aspects as part of the core of the medical course, and the move to degree courses in nursing has led to an increasing focus of practice skills in nurse education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Oxford Practice Skills Project (OPSP) team have developed a course, within the University of Oxford Clinical School, which covers the teaching of practice skills in an integrated manner. This course is widely recognized as one of the most systematic developments of education in these areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis manual describes the OPSP course in detail and provides teaching materials. Although developed initially for medical students, it should be helpful to all those involved in teaching ethics, communication skills, and law in health care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach Seminar is described in detail\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTutors' guides are provided\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudent handouts are included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContains guidelines for introducing 'practice skills' into a busy clinical curriculum\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes over forty case histories for teaching and examination\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGives details of many useful sources and resources\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDetails a variety of teaching methods together with their advantages and disadvantages\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProvides an ethics teaching toolkit for clinical teachers new to this area\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders are welcome to photocopy any part of this manual for their own teaching\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47042018312432,"sku":"9780192627544","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780192627544_p0.jpg?v=1763661984","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780192627544","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
