Very good textbook with useful examples for pre-registration nursing students. Supplements other available textbooks well.

A very useful overview of key topics in medicine management. An excellent text that could be adopted for pre-registration module but more in-depth subject knowledge is required for CPD modules.

An excellent resource for any student nurse throughout their pre-registration nursing degree. An easy to follow book with clear and concise examples to aide in learning and teaching.
