Reviews

Easy to use...easy to read and navigate between chapters with useful further reading and extensive references, suitable throughout nurse training and beyond registration. - Joanne, Student Nurse (Learning Disabilities branch) This book is an excellent introduction to the essential foundations of nursing practice. It is clearly structured and poses a sound basis for students to commence their academic and professional development. The chosen topics are relevant within a contemporary context and the book succeeds to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Reflection as well as active and independent learning are encouraged through the many activities and Test Yourself questions. - Kat, Student Nurse (Adult branch) Well-structured, easy to read, plenty of interactive activities...this is a real 'cover-all' text for nursing - Debbie Knott, Senior Lecturer in Mental Health, Liverpool John Moores University, UK 'manages to cover a wide range of essential topics and explain them so very clearly' - Lynne Jump, Senior Lecturer and Programme Leader, School of Health and Social Care, University of Greenwich, UK Praise for previous edition: 'This is an excellent text which will provide relevant information to take the student right through the Common Foundation Programme. It is easy to read, well set out, applicable to all branches of nursing and up-to-date.' - Jill Kneath-Jones, University of Glamorgan, UK
