Reviews
'...a useful resource for clinical staff, laying great emphasis on the evidence base for current practice.
Principles of Care is aimed at students and newly qualified staff and, in this respect, hits the bullseye...
This book is one which I would be glad to have on my bookshelf as a permanent reference.'
