Brilliant book for any trainee nursing associates. Have referred to it lots during my training. An absolute must.
by S Holling
Good book but too much A&P which is available in other texts such as Ross and Wilson. Light on practical skills which are now available in a separate book. But as an Amazon prime subscriber very annoyed to be charged this much to return the book.
