Synopsis

The field of accident and emergency nursing is a fast moving one. This comprehensive textbook is aimed at both the qualified or trainee nurse who has specialised, or is thinking of specialising, in accident and emergency care. The authors and editors are all experienced nurses and nurse-educators who aim to provide easy to read, and easy to find information about procedures, conditions and nursing skills that a newcomer to the field may not be familiar with, or with which he or she has only a superficial knowledge. Throughout the text, much use is made of illustrations, tables and boxes of key information, and a comprehensive list of references is included at the end of each chapter.

About this title

Review:

"This is an excellent and comprehensive textbook edited by three experienced nurses who are well known in the field of Accident and Emergency nursing. The editors clearly explain in the preface that the text 'provides background information and quick reference information to assist the practitioner in practice'. I would suggest that student nurses on placement in Accident and Emergency departments as part of their pre-registration training might find the text a valuable source of information both prior to, and during, their placement as well. It has to be said that, as a source of information for practitioners in emergency care, the editors have produced an excellent resource. I like this book and wish it had been available to me when I was doing my training and preparing for my placement in the A&E department. This book is an essential resource for all nurses, both students and qualified practitioners, who work in, or have contact with, this speciality. The book will also be a welcome addition to the library shelves." - Michael Adkins University College Worchester Nursing Midwifery
