Format:Paperback
This book is invaluable - I am a staff nurse at a Walk in Centre, and have found that using this book has shortened and improved my examination skills, and the recording of the examination - it was recommended by the A/E nurse consultant on our recent Minor Injuries course, and has lived up to it's reputation

Format:Paperback
This little book was recommended for the Nurse Practitioner degree course I did and proved it's worth a hundred times over. It is probably the most thumbed book I own and is very easy to find information in it.

Format:Paperback
For nurses or junior doctors, this is an ideal book to carry in your pocket. It has just the right amount of detail in order to act as a reminder or guide on the process you're trying to carry out. It is a 'readable' book in that it is easy to decipher - maybe a book to go hand in hand with anyone studying for the Independent and Supplementary Prescribing qualification.
