A huge range of chapters look at the core issues to do with caring – and every one has been written by an experienced lecturer or practitioner, so your learning is supported by a team of experts. There are direct links between theory and clinical skills, lots of illustrations of evidence-based practice and plenty of interprofessional examples throughout.
And there's more!
