It reveals the institutional and ward cultures that inform the organisation and delivery of everyday care for one of the largest populations within them: people living with dementia who require urgent unscheduled hospital care. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on five years of research embedded in acute wards in the UK, the authors follow people living with dementia through their admission, shadowing hospital staff as they interact with them during and across shifts. In a major contribution to the tradition of hospital ethnography, this book provides a valuable analysis of the organisation and delivery of routine care and everyday interactions at the bedside, which reveal the powerful continuities and durability of ward cultures of care and their impacts on people living with dementia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Shortlisted for the Foundation for the Sociology of Health and Illness Book Prize 2021*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katie Featherstone,Andy Northcott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 135007845X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350078451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.80w x 0.70d","brand":"Katie Featherstone","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136603304191,"sku":"9781350078451","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f87be193-5946-4b1d-b13f-c59e19986cbb.jpg?v=1770163727","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wandering-the-wards-katie-featherstone-9781350078451","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
