THE CURRENT focus on developing safe and competent clinical skills has led to a number of books being written for nursing students and registered practitioners. This book aims to assist readers to develop the practical skills required for the care of children and their carers in a range of acute care settings. The text is comprehensive and each chapter contains discussion of the underpinning practices and skills, a good range of photographs and illustrations, and a outline of the procedure. The companion website is easy to register with, access and navigate. The price may appear high, however, this text will be used often as a reference source – so it offers value for money.
