but rigorous presentation of the main competencies for professional
nursing practice. Its easy style and 'readability' is one of its
most pleasing features and the case studies, information boxes and
key learning points give structure to the book as well as helping
to engage readers. I recommend with enthusiasm this book to
would-be readers. It is a solid and significant contribution to the
on-going development of best nursing practice. It should be on the
recommended reading list of any nurse who plans, delivers and
evaluates patient care." Professor Hugh P. McKenna CBE, Pro Vice
Chancellor, Research and Innovation, University of Ulster. "To
date, I would consider this the 'must-have' book on achieving
competence for any nursing student in all four countries of the
United Kingdom." Melanie Jasper, Professor of Nursing and Head of
the College of Human and Health Sciences, Swansea University, UK
