My interest in this book was supporting my Assistant Practitioner course, whilst preparing to teach a Nurse Associate course. The main differences being placements, registration and level of HE study.
I am amazed what this book has managed to pack in, covering a wide range of topics in brief, but challenging the learner all along the way to process the information by thinking about case studies, their practice and reflective exercises.
The inclusion of chapters regarding human factors and resilience is very apt in this period of change.
