	Developing Practice Knowledge for Health Professionals Professor Joy Higgs , Director, Centre for Professional Education Advancement, Faculty of Health Sciences, The University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Dr Barbara Richardson , Senior Lecturer, School of Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy, School of Health, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK. Dr Madeleine Abrandt Dahlgren , Department of Education and Psychology, Linkopings Universitet, Linkoping, Sweden. The current climate of accountability and public scrutiny in the health and social care professions demands a high level of responsibility by health professionals in terms of understanding, updating and credibly using their professional knowledge. To achieve this health professionals need to acknowledge the wide variety of sources from which their knowledge is generated: they need a sound working knowledge of practice epistemology which investigates the nature of knowledge and knowledge generation which underlies practice. The call from community, governments and employers is for evidence-based practice with the expectation that health professionals fully understand the knowledge which underpins their practice and can therefore justify their practice. This book examines the nature, generation and development of professional knowledge in the health professions with particular emphasis on physiotherapy, occupational therapy, medicine and nursing. It is a user-friendly resource book accessible for practitioners, clinical educators, tertiary educators, research students and researchers. Publication date: February 2004 Paperback Pages: 240 - Illustrations: 30 ISBN: 0750654295 Price: £26.99
