'...essential reading for health and social care students and professionals who want an overview of timescales and background factors that have led to the user experience environment of today.' - Paul Bagley, NHS Centre for Involvement.
'I am delighted to be among this book's collective dedicatees...Would I recommend this book to others? Without reservation, particularly to Chairs of Local Involvement Networks (LINks) and their members for whom Chirstine Hogg has provided a relaible anchor in history and theory for the otherwise uncharted journay they have begun. For LINKs and their Host bodies, Citizens, Cosumers and the NHS should help them understand the issues and efforts of the past which are with us still so they don't waste time discovering them anew and wondering what to do next.' - Andrew Craig,
