A really good investment. I used this book as a revision tool before returning to clinical practice. It’s an easy read yet comprehensive.

this book is one of those books that I wished I have been informed by someone at the start of my nursing course. I recommend to anyone that intends to start the nursing course or has started it.

All nursing personnel (including students) should own a copy of this book. Easy to understand and great for everyday practice. Also a good resource when undertaking training / OSCE stations

Really recommend this for any student nurse, it is a great go to book after placement days when you are wondering what the best practice should be. I often use it when I am writing up about different procedures as it points me in the right direction of good pieces of guidance that I can reference
