Press reviews for: Humanizing Healthcare Reforms
Nursing Standard
Humanizing Healthcare Reform is essential reading for all those interested in a structured approach to healthcare reform, from clinicians and nurses to managers and policy makers.
Allyson Pollock, Professor of Public Health Research and Policy at Queen Mary, University of London
This book is a useful mirror for managers and clinicians to reflect on and mitigate their own responses to structural change.
Professor Sally Thorne, University of British Columbia School of Nursing, Vancouver, Canada
In Humanizing Healthcare Reforms, Arbuckle excises the dialogue out of the conventional logic that has been so unsatisfying in solving the challenge of healthcare, drawing us into a credibly optimistic conversation in which cultural understandings make transformative change imaginable. His deeply provocative, delightfully articulated, and thoroughly constructive text fills an important gap in the debates about healthcare system reform, reviving the essence of the moral and spiritual ideals that led to the development of healthcare systems in the first place and offering a practical guide to enacting them through visionary and strategic leadership. Arbuckle speaks the language of the idealist and committed people who struggle to solve the problems of healthcare in our modern age, and offers them a new way forward.

The WayThis is an important book...The book is a stupendous achievement...There is a uniquely wide vision of the healthcare elephant from every side and corner... There is a mountain of reading, and his references section is gigantic, up-to-date and very wide-ranging... spiritually founded, culturally intelligent, multi-dimensional portrayal of healthcare systems caught between the claims of technical excellence, financial efficiency and humanized compassionate care. There is nothing like it.
