Taking a UK\/European perspective, the authors examine how a holistic approach is related to legislation, human rights and perceived patient needs. Medical imaging and radiotherapy are front line services experienced by vast numbers of patients with acute and chronic medical conditions, including trauma and cancer. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e  \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe book includes coverage of behavioural science and health psychology together with practical applications such as safe manual handling, infection control and radiation safety.
