This will be adopted due to the nature of the course. Evidence based practice is essential in Nursing and Ellis explains it simply for student nurses whilst elegantly mapping it to the NMC standards. References to other text material are put throughout for students to search for and it is a must for Evidence Based Practice

an excellent text which explores evidence-based practice in depth. It introduces the reader to the topic and guides them through various applications. This is incredibly useful to undergraduate nursing students especially who will be new to the topic.

Clear and straightforward language used. The links to the NMC Future nurse: Standards of proficiency make it clear why and how the content is relevant.
