Description
A New Health and Care System: Escaping the Invisible Asylum This book explores how public services can be transformed to better support people with long-term needs. It reveals how current systems often fail to tap into the potential of individuals with support needs and the creativity of frontline workers. Instead, it outlines a new approach focused on achieving and maintaining wellbeing, rather than reacting to crisis. Drawing on the ethos and practices of human-focused initiatives like Shared Lives, the book proposes a new model for public services that prioritises shared responsibilities, resources, and risks. This approach would offer a more collaborative and transparent way of caring for people with long-term needs. The book provides practical steps that citizens, frontline services, and governments can take to achieve this vision. By rethinking the way we provide care and support, we can create a more sustainable and human-centred system that benefits everyone involved.
