"This book should become a key textbook of choice for a wide range of health care professionals and students. It encourages autonomous learning and helps develop critical analytical skills ... Each chapter follows a logical progression using key objectives which relate to a range of activities and up to date evidenced based sources of information. The range of depth and breadth of material is contemporary and as such should meet the academic, managerial and clinical background of the reader."
Helen Matthews, Senior Lecturer in Health and Community Care, University of West London, UK"This text represents a useful, well-pitched contribution ... The book is densely packed but skilfully written to feel comfortable for the reader; challenging in places but never to the extent to discourage engagement."
