A new edition of a seminal textbook that offers an up-to-date, concise
and theoretically and empirically informed introduction to the core
issues in the sociology of health and health care. It includes updated
chapters on established themes of social aspects of health, disease
and medical practice, social structures and the organisation of health
services, as well as brand new chapters on contemporary topics such as
globalisation, the sociology of the body and digital technologies. As
proven by previous editions, this text has special salience for
students of medicine and allied health programmes. Moreover, with
increased attention to international perspectives and examples and an
accessible writing style, it remains an ideal choice for undergraduate
and postgraduate health modules on sociology courses across the world.
New to this Edition: - Increased emphasis on global perspectives and
international examples - All existing chapters thoroughly updated -
New chapters on globalisation and health, re-conceptualising bodies
and digital health and health care ensure that the book takes the
latest developments in the discipline into account
