Very good
‘I love this textbook so muchVery self-explanatory and easy to understand. For someone that hates maths like myself this book will make you fall in love with maths. Value for money.’
Amazon reviewer

‘Numeracy is a compulsory element of our undergraduate programme and gives many students cause for concern! Any text that simplifies the process and gives students tips and straightforward advice on applied maths is useful. The self-assessment boxes are great and the fact that all the maths is contextualised throughout to healthcare settings is invaluable and what makes this book highly relevant to nurses.’
Senior Lecturer, Manchester Metropolitan University

‘I liked the fact that the flow of the textbook included getting students to revisit basic arithmetic skills and the use of the numerous self assessment exercises was also very positive. Clearly written and user friendly.’
Lecturer, University of the West of Scotland

‘I liked the structure of the book in that it started from the presumption that the student nurses do not have an elementary knowledge of maths/calculations/ statistics. Having developed this knowledge, it then progresses on to calculations relating to nursing issues – drugs and scores. I would recommend this book for any students.’
Lecturer, Salford University

‘An excellent resource. The book has excellent clinical examples and lots of practice pages. I particularly liked the clinical calculations section. Very relevant for today’s students. Numeracy is summatively assessed so this has been an invaluable book to teach from. Using the book helped the students gain confidence. Presentation good, user friendly.’
Senior Lecturer, University of Derby

‘I would recommend this text to personal students who require a good core text on calculations as it starts with the very basics and builds on this throughout the book. I particularly like the integration of assessment tools such as fluid balance and MUST, indicating to students that numeracy is more than drug calculations alone.’
Lecturer, Canterbury Christ Church University

‘This is an easy to understand text which students appear to find very helpful as a basic introduction to the topic area. Use of examples and text boxes to highlight practice is very helpful. The self assessment aspect is a strong element of this book. I recommend this book to students early on in the course to help them develop the skills they need on clinical calculations.’
Senior Lecturer, UCLan

Amazing book!
‘Such a good book, I highly recommend it for student nurses. Everything is clearly explained and there is a self assessment at the end of each chapter with answers at the back of the book. I bought to refresh my maths knowledge before starting uni in September. Really enjoying the book so far.' Amazon reviewer

Excellent for my NMP numeracy exam
‘I bought this book at the start of my Non-Medical Prescribing (NMP) course and it really helped me prepare for the numeracy exam. I would definitely recommend for nurses who may be out of practice with mathematics.' Amazon reviewer

Easy to read. Easy to follow and understand
‘This product is amazing for nursing students it’s very visual and easy to understand. As a first year nursing student it is easier to read and learn from.' Amazon reviewer

Really well designed book
‘In love with this book. Although I'm proficient with maths, it is a great book to begin to understand what is expected when going to university to study nursing!' Amazon reviewer

Easy to follow helpful book
‘Really helpful book to help my confidence with numbers grow as a student nurse.' Amazon reviewer

The Numeracy book is great and I particularly like all of the self-tests it includes and the little examples throughout about how numeracy is so important to nurses. I think it really helps to put the teaching into context. I'll recommend this book to all of my nursing students. * Programme Manager, City College Plymouth *
