Book Description
This book reports the results of a major study carried out in eight different European countries to look at health policy dilemmas through the eyes of the patient. Drawing on literature reviews, focus groups and a survey of 1,000 people in each of the eight countries, the book addresses how patients no longer see themselves as passive recipients of care: increasingly they expect to be involved in all decisions that affect them.
