Description:

This is a review of the eighth edition of this medical-surgical text book. The text book is a comprehensive medical surgical text book. The first aspect that the reader will notice on the front cover is that this is reassuringly patient centred.

Highlights:

This is up to date and oozes evidence based practice through every page. There is a thread running through this of patient safety which is vital to today’s healthcare.

This is a must book for the adult nursing student’s reading list.
