I liked this and found it most helpful in providing different perspectives on LTC′s, which is essential if to provide effective care. My students come from very diverse areas and for those working with LTC′s I will be strongly recommending this to them. It is succinct, utilises current explicit evidence base and encourages them to critically reflect on the policy impacts - all of which I encourage throughout my programme. Thank you. -- Mrs Christine Jackson * drupal *
