The essential handbook for nursing associate students and anyone undertaking a foundation degree or higher-level apprenticeship in healthcare practice.
Now mapped to the latest NMC standards, the book continues to provide students with the core knowledge and skills needed for these roles, including study skills, professional development, leadership and teamwork, infection control and health promotion, bioscience, health sciences, mental health, learning disabilities, children and families.
Key features for the new edition:

- New chapters on Public Health and Advanced Health Science: Genomics and Pathophysiology..
- Case studies and activities have been updated to aid discussion-based learning in the classroom and show students how the theory relates to real-life practice.
Written by a collection of experienced authors in nursing and health, the book is essential reading for anyone studying to be a nursing associate, assistant practitioner or healthcare support worker.
A good overview of a variety of topics covered on our programme.
This text is absolutely appropriate for the academic level of our students and the content matches our curriculum very well. We have adopted an eBook version and it is directly available to the students via our VLE.
Invaluable edition for our HNC students
Very comprehensive book for TNA's to have to guide them during their training.
this book is easy to navigate through and read.
I like the way it complements the modules which the trainee nursing associates compete at our university.
This book nicely delivers on detail and content in an organised and structured way which makes the reader feel less overwhelmed by the material - and for this reason I have recommended to all of my new trainee nursing associates.
