      An understanding of the sociology of health and illness is central to effective health and social care practice. Sociological Approaches to Health, Healthcare and Nursing is a new book for pre- and post-registration nurses and allied health professionals that brings into focus the social context of their work and its social and cultural foundations.The book introduces key social theories and concepts in an accessible way. It covers a range of contemporary post-COVID issues in health and healthcare. A central focus is the social determinants of health: the book discusses these in relation to inequality and discrimination related to social class, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity and disability. It examines contemporary cultural understandings of health, illness and the body while linking these to social changes and the growth of digital technologies and social media.Aligned with the requirements of the updated NMC Standards of Proficiency for Nurses, this book will support the reader in considering modern healthcare systems and institutions, and their role in either reproducing or challenging inequalities of health. It encourages the reader to critically reflect on their own role within them and how they themselves can help to effect positive change.

      Considerado desde hace más de 50 años «el libro de legal», esta octava edición de Medicina legal y Toxicología mantiene la misma personalidad y filosofía que siempre tuvo. Un libro completo —holístico se podría decir— que abarca el complejo mundo de la Medicina legal en sus diversos campos y objetos de estudio. Un libro clásico en su estructura y moderno en sus contenidos, que aborda aquellos temas que más interesan al médico de hoy desde la perspectiva de la Medicina legal y forense. El médico, en el ejercicio de cualquier especialidad, plaza o lugar, ha de formular cuatro juicios a la cabecera del paciente: el clínico, el médico-legal, el ético y el económico. El lector encontrará en este tratado cumplida respuesta al menos a dos de estas cuestiones: la médico-legal y la ético-deontológica. Esta obra va dirigida a los especialistas que cultivan el amplio campo de la Medicina legal y forense, opositores al Cuerpo Nacional de Médicos Forenses, estudiantes del grado de Medicina, MIR de Medicina legal y forense, operadores del Derecho, criminólogos, profesionales de instituciones penitenciarias, psicólogos y policía científica, entre otros.
