Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This series of books reflects the trend towards a core curriculum and self-directed learning. The content is restricted to the "must know" core information presented in a synoptic style. The diagrams that support the text are in a style that the reader can remember and reproduce in examinations. Each chapter ends with a selection of self-assessment material and full explanatory answers. These consolidate and expand on the chapter contents.The series covers the entire curriculum in approximately twelve discipline-based volumes. Despite the use of problem- and/or topic-based curricula students still respond to the security of a well-ordered presentation of the basic information by traditional discipline. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

The postnatal examination of the woman, and the baby check Care of the baby in the immediate postnatal period The features of the normal neonate The newborn clinical examination Hospital postnatal care and caesarean section The role of the community midwife and emotional wellbeing Postnatal fertility control Issues involved in supporting the woman to feed her baby. Midwifery Essentials consists of a series of four pocketbooks, based on the popular and successful 'Midwifery Basics' articles published in 'The Practising Midwife' journal. They have been written in response to many requests from students, midwives and supervisors to combine these articles into a handy text. The books remain true to the style of the articles and have been updated and expanded to create a user-friendly source of information on different aspects of midwifery care. They will stimulate debate and require the reader both to reflect on their current practice, local policies and procedures and to challenge care that is not woman centred. There are many dimensions to the provision of woman-centred care that practitioners need to consider and understand so the series is based on the principles of holistic care, using a 'jigsaw' model as a framework. Each aspect of the jigsaw should be considered during the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of woman-centred maternity care, for example: how does a midwife obtain consent from a woman for a procedure, maintain a safe environment during the delivery of care and make the most of the opportunity to promote health? what are the professional and legal issues in relation to the procedure and is this practice based on the best available evidence? which members of the multi-professional team contribute to this aspect of care and how is it influenced by the way in which care is organised? Series features: Provides information essential for best practice at all stages of pregnancy and birth 'Jigsaw' model promotes holistic care Scenarios help readers understand the context of maternity care Activities encourage further exploration and debate.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Anatomy is a science which, to many of its students, is couched in words which are difficult to understand, being drawn from other languages, cultures and eras. Many have found a breakthrough in comprehension of the subject through a fuller understanding of its terminology since the words used are merely simple descriptions of anatomical structures but in an unfamiliar language. It is the aim of this book to provide all who study anatomy with a simple reference guide to such words in order that their comprehension of the subject may be enhanced. This is not simply a dictionary of anatomical words, although there is a central alphabetical glossary. Rather, numerous words have been omitted from this glossary and grouped together by common themes into a series of relatively short sections at the front of the book. In this way, cross-referencing within these themes is made much easier since all related entries are in one place. The list of contents is a very necessary indicator and guide to the location of word. Numerous anatomical structures additionally bear the name of a person with whom they have become associated. Although the use of eponyms is now discouraged, their use is not extinct and so a list is provided at the end. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Key Topics is a short, easy-to-read text that provides basic information about twelve key topics in public health, such as diabetes, cancer, smoking and teenage pregnancy, and how prevention and health promotion should be tackled at community and one-to-one levels. The twelve topics are the 'must-dos' of public health action. They have been selected because they are those addressed in current national public health strategies such as Saving Lives: our healthier nation, and comparable strategies in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Many are the subject of National Service Frameworks and other national policies and plans; they are often accompanied by targets which health workers are expected to meet. Topics often relate to each other (e.g. smoking and cancer) so cross-references will be provided. Accessible and useful, in clear plain English. Provides a foundation for further study, planning a work programme, or planning a strategy to meet targets. Practical focus: on health inequalities and how to tackle them, and on help for practitioners who work at a community and one-to-one level. Explicit links to national current public health policy and targets. Reflects recommendations based on best practice and evidence of effectiveness. Focuses on a topic framework (except for the last two chapters) in contrast to other frameworks for health promotion and public health. Attractive layout making full use of bullet points and boxes. Simple line diagrams or tables to illustrate each chapter. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This book provides a readable introduction to health psychology and acknowledges that many of its readers will not have a background understanding of psychology. The emphasis is on health and health promotion, the stress and strain of everyday life, communicating effectively with patients and their families, understanding people's motivation to behave healthily or unhealthily. The book also explores examples of how psychological models apply to illness and treatment. The book is organised into three sections. The Section 1 investigates how psychology informs the process of interacting with patients and also colleagues. It addresses how culture influences interpersonal skills and considers how health professionals attempt to change people's attitudes and behaviour regarding health. The Section 2 is concerned with the actual content of health psychology and takes a biopsychosocial approach to explanations of health behaviour including exploring pain and stress in the context of life events, transitions and crises. And, Section 3 deals with some aspects of health psychology, which are sometimes neglected in biopsychosocial models, including the influence of age, environment and organizations. Designed to be user-friendly, the book contains examples, case studies and exercises. For this edition, the author has also highlighted New Research, and provided summaries of recent relevant research findings. Discussion points are provided with some pointers for the reader's consideration. Finally, the author has devised Watch Out points, which aim to clarify points, and issues that students may find particularly difficult or confusing. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

As part of her role as Educational Adviser to the Postgraduate Dean in 'General Practice' in South Thames, she has been a driving force behind the development of this area of practice.

There is also general information on study skills and note taking.

It should be of particular use for mature students who have been out of the system for a while. It also gives health-specific and nurse-specific examples (for example, care plans) and therefore should be relevant to students of nursing and health care.
