Successful Statistics For Nursing and Healthcare helps students to gain an understanding of statistical methods within the evidence-based health care context. It builds confidence in descriptive statistics, concentrating on appropriate statistical tools and the techniques used in research, whilst gently introducing the mathematics required.

'This text is interesting and readable, possibly due to the number and nature of the healthcare examples used. It would be suitable for students and experienced healthcare professionals alike, as the accessible format allows the reader to target areas for indepth study, or make quick reference.' Susan Totty, Journal of Community Nursing '...this is a useful introductory text for students in the nursing and healthcare professions, and I would recommend in to anyone embarking on an introductory statistics course.' - Barbara Mullan, Journal of Advanced Nursing
