Examining the historical and contemporary context, this title provides an analysis of professional self-regulation and the implications of regulatory change for the future of health care. It is intended for students, educators and researchers in a range of disciplines including sociology, social policy, politics and health studies.

Speaking for Patients and Carers draws on original research and is based on a theoretical framework taken from sociology and politics. It examines health consumer groups in the context of specific conditions: Arthritis and related conditions, cancer, heart and circulatory disease, maternity and childbirth, and mental health.
