The path to good caregiving can be challenging. How can we respond ethically when there is pressure to meet targets, work faster and implement quick fixes? 
This book offers a solution in the form of slow ethics. Slow ethics counters the craving for short-term answers, restores balance and affirms the value of the art of care. The book features real-life stories from different care contexts, enticing readers to adopt an approach that enables humans, other species and the environment to flourish.

"‘…[a] powerful and polemical new treatise on ethics and care… Slow Ethics and the Art of Care is an important contribution to academic scholarship on caregiving. It challenges many preconceptions we have about work in the ‘helping professions’, and provides a vast range of conceptual apparatus to try to diagnose the current issues that societies face in providing good care and to clarify how we might reinvoke the idea of ‘virtuous caregiving’… By clarifying so elegantly what is means to be a good caregiver, we are better placed to think further about what is required in the practice of care: how to communicate well, how to make correct clinical or health care judgements, and how to address practical ethical problems.’" - Ethics and Social Welfare
