Paperback. "This excellent text will help nurses develop an awareness of a range of communication frameworks and how they might be utilised in contemporary child health nursing to communicate with children, their families, fellow healthcare professionals and each other in their day to day working lives. It should be on every student's reading list!"Dr Edward Alan Glasper, Professor of Children's and Young People's Nursing, The University of Southampton, UK "This is an important and much needed book. Logical and well presented, it has episodes of reflection which can be implemented, and activities that provide exemplars about communication that will enhance learning. I particularly found useful the chapters on the legal and ethical aspects, research and communicating with children using technology."Linda Shields, Professor of Nursing - Tropical Health, James Cook University and Townsville Health Service District, AustraliaThis guide will help children's nurses tocommunicate with confidence, sensitivity and effectiveness; to meet the individual needs of children and their families.
