Review
"The view that nurses should move towards increasing their level of autonomy rather than striving for autonomous practice was especially pleasing, as this has been an area of controversy for some time.
The book emphasises the patient throughout. I was relieved to see the positive comment on the nurse s responsibility for providing first aid.
A very thought provoking book that will appeal to nurses who enjoy debating the purpose and role of the nurse and nursing."Nursing Standard

Product Description
"Nursing Frontiers: Accountability and the Boundaries of Care" challenges existing professional boundaries that mark out territory within nursing and other groups such as medicine, exploring the whole question of change and interaction within health care and nursing.
From the Publisher
Nursing Frontiers: Accountability and the boundaries of care offers some radical new departures from conventional views of nursing. It challenges the normal view of professionalism and the assumption that nursing should strive to fit the same model of professionalism adopted by doctors or lawyers. The introduction of ideas from the world of evolutionary biology challenges conventional wisdom about the growth of nursing from Nightingale's time to the present day.The topics covered are central to any appreciation of nursing's legal and professional position in today's NHS. They are also core elements of pre and post registration nursing education. This book will appeal to nurse practitioners and students alike, offering ideas for all nurses studying professional development. It will also act as an invaluable source of ideas for those engaged in the development of nursing practice.
