Summary

This part focuses on the care of the Lewis family who live in Queensland. The case studies focus on different members of the family, namely Luke, Sally and John. While each case study has a central character at its core, each scenario demonstrates the impact an individual incident, such as an accident or a diagnosis, can have on the wider family. The ripple effect caused by the circumstances discussed in these case studies can be significant. It is essential that healthcare professionals consider these circumstances when they care for an individual. It is only through taking a holistic approach to care that we can truly achieve the delivery of person-centred practice.
