"This book is a real gem - useful not only for nurses, but for all healthcare professionals, students and educators wanting to develop their communication skills. One is reminded that it is not always about 'what' is said, but 'how' it is said. This book will be a great resource for those advocating interprofessional working, while keeping the patient's perspective in the reader's mind throughout." Dr Susanne Lindqvist, Senior Lecturer in Interprofessional Education, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK."This book is slim line and concise but covers a lot of vital points that all nurses and students of nursing should be aware of. It is well laid out with activities, case studies and vignettes to illustrate key issues... I thoroughly recommend this book to nursing students and those who work with people in any context."
