Description
Whilst a low incidence cohort, children and young people with a tracheostomy represent a complex population with needs across the lifespan. For clinicians working with children and young people, whilst research and evidence is increasingly available there is a dearth of information dealing with practical, day-to-day issues. Existing clinical texts tend to focus more on anatomy and physiology which, whilst important, do not elaborate on the lived experiences and voices of the children and young people and their families or offer practical support.
Beyond Tracheostomy highlights and addresses the ways in which a tracheostomy affects not only children and young people with a tracheostomy but their parents, carers, wider families and communities. Containing perspectives from parents and young people themselves, the book offers support to clinicians who reach beyond the merely physical object to the person beneath.
