This book is an extraordinary exploration of the ‘ordinary’ and the (often) hidden in health and care. The editors have curated a diverse collection of writers and perspectives, but humanity and nuance imbue each essay. It offers a rich and rewarding read to anyone interested in the moral dimensions of care, recognising that attending to care is fundamental, complex and potentially transformative.

Professor Deborah Bowman, Professor of Medical Ethics, St George’s University, London

This is a wonderful collection of essays on ethics in the real world of healthcare practice. It brings together new voices and more established scholars to think carefully about how we see ethics in motion, not as a set of abstract rules and principles, but as living discourses and practices. This book will be valuable to anyone who cares about practising well.

Professor Richard Ashcroft, Queen Mary University, UK

This indispensable textbook explores the ethics of issues from the interpersonal to the political. Expanding on the traditional approach, the editors bring together a range of new perspectives on ethics that reflect the real life experiences and interests of those who work in health and care. Rather than describing abstract ideas and applying them to situations, this authoritative new book uses the everyday situations that occur in health and care as its starting point to examine how we can use our understanding of the moral implications of these to improve practice, relationships and decisions making.
