The field of A&E nursing is a challenging but rewarding one. This new book meets the need for a concise student-friendly introduction for the many thousands of nurses seeking training in this area. While taking care to set the subject in the appropriate theoretical context, the book is above all a much-needed practical guide to the acquisition of clinical skills designed to build confidence to the student nurse on placement, or qualified nurse taking up a junior position in this important field. It will be an essential course companion and study aid.
