Nursing and Working with Other People by Ruth Clemow

Nursing and Working with Other People by Ruth Clemow

Nurses work with a wide range of people and it is essential that they are able to understand questions such as: Who are service users and what might their needs and perspectives be? Who else is involved in nursing? How do professionals learn and work together? This book will help students understand the policy context that makes these questions important, prepare them for working in a team and working in an environment where roles are evolving. The book will outline assessment requirements and include advice to students on gathering evidence for assessment of practice.

"This book is an excellent resource for students trying to understand how health care is delivered in Britain today"- Lecturer, Edge Hill University

′This text addresses the importance,

related concepts and skills necessary to work effectively with other people in healthcare settingsThe book’s design prompts students to consider, reflect

on and apply its content and a particular strength is the use of practical examples and questions to prompt readers to consider topics in light of their

practice experience. While particularly suited for beginning students within the United Kingdom, the book has a broader appeal for students of nursing further advanced along their educational pathway

and for mentors within practice settings. The book would also be a very useful tool to nurse educators and programme planners, as the scope and manner

of the material presented will assist educators to enable the appreciation and application of concepts essential to working with people′ -
