Nursing in Partnership with Patients and Carers by Audrey Reed
Future healthcare services are changing to give patients more rights over their own healthcare. The NMC requires that nurses work in partnership with those in their care. This book provides a timely guide to enabling patient and carer participation in nursing care. It challenges the reader to see the person in the patient and explores the nature of the nurse-patient relationship. It gives practical advice on how students can promote participation on placements and in practice. The book also offers an insight into the realities of being a carer, and discusses how quality of patient experiences can be assessed.
′The title of [this book] truly reflects the content, which achieves the aim of supporting student nurses working across all undergraduate pre-registration nursing and midwifery programmes to understand why this partnership is so essentialThe style and format is accessible, directional and supportive of learning in and reflecting on practice by unifying theory with practical examples, activities, case studies, research summaries and scenarios. The mapping of each chapter against the Nursing and Midwifery′s Council′s Standards for Pre-Registration Nurse Education and Essential Skills Clusters complements learning and is a welcome inclusion. The authors should be commended for creatively illuminating and detailing (with the backing of evidence) why and how these partnerships are the bedrock in delivering individualised person-centred care - and may contribute to restoring the image of nursing.
An essential purchase for student nurses on pre-registration programmes, highlighting the fundamental partnerships that underpin the delivery of quality nursing′ -
