Safety in acute care is of paramount importance to all healthcare practitioners in today’s fast-paced practice environment.  This ‘go to’ guide is an ideal supporting resource for those studying to become a nurse or allied health professional, and for those already working in practice as an aide memoire.

University of Worcester

This book has relevant content that has been explained in great detail. The case studies included exemplify what happens in the context of clinical practice, making this book most suitable for second or third year student nurses, or qualified nurses moving into acute care for the first time.
