À propos de la quatrième de couverture

“I like the book. The case work is detailed and the layout offers information in manageable chunks without ‘dumbing down’. The cases cited seem to capture students’ imaginations and provide a good reference point for their own practice.”

Karen Thompson, Senior Lecturer – University of Brighton

“The major strength is the relevance and application to practice. The coverage of specialist areas of nursing is thorough and enhances further the relevance of the text to clinical staff. The content is clear and relatively easy to understand without over-simplifying the complexities.  The range of material covered is excellent.”

Liz Smith, Programme Leader: Advanced Practice – University of Hull
