Revue de presse

I found this to be an excellent resource and I feel students new to the profession would find it extremely useful. I was impressed with how up-to-date it is, including the Darzi Report which is less than a year old. The book is well-organised, highly readable and accessible. It is suitable for all branches/fields of Nursing, and suitable for all nurses students, Return to Nursing students and those who just want to update their knowledge of NHS organisations and nurse education. --Lecturer, University of the West of England

This is a simple but straightforward introduction to the key issues and terms student nurses need to know as they commence their training. It is pleasing to see health promotion, interprofessionalism and cultural diversity feature as key issues and this book will support all the learning our undergraduates face in their first year both in university and practice. --Lecturer, Manchester Metropolitan University

This text covers the basic professional issues required by all nurses and will be invaluable to students, especially in the foundation year. This has already been put on our reading lists for students. --Lecturer, City University, London
