Emergency nursing requires rapid assessment and decision-making. Often nurses are required to make sense of considerable amounts of information and act on it. The new fully revised Oxford Handbook of Emergency Nursing third edition provides an essential resource when time is short and the need for practical clinical guidance is paramount. This edition has been fully updated to reflect new guidelines and approaches which have impacted the field in recent years. It provides clear, focused information that will aid all areas of patient assessment and management in emergency care. The concise format enables the reader to quickly locate the information needed. The skills section provides a quick summary of the many clinical skills needed in emergency care, ideal as an introduction, or refresher for skills performed infrequently. This third edition has been expanded to cover key information on patient safety and public health including human factors, disease prevention, and natural disasters. Written by practising nurses and subject experts, the Handbook continues to be a unique and invaluable companion for qualified and student nurses, and for all health care professionals working in the emergency care setting, empowering nurses to deliver excellence in emergency care.

The field of accident and emergency nursing is a fast moving one. This comprehensive textbook is aimed at both the qualified or trainee nurse who has specialised, or is thinking of specialising, in accident and emergency care. The authors and editors are all experienced nurses and nurse-educators who aim to provide easy to read, and easy to find information about procedures, conditions and nursing skills that a newcomer to the field may not be familiar with, or with which he or she has only a superficial knowledge. Throughout the text, much use is made of illustrations, tables and boxes of key information, and a comprehensive list of references is included at the end of each chapter.

Royal Bargemasters have been serving their monarchs for over 800 years, yet their story has never been told. Always working in close proximity to their sovereigns, they have witnessed and played their part in many of the important events in our country’s history. They have been close witnesses to rebellions and coronations, to initial courting and grand royal weddings, and added their colourful presence to the splendour of celebrations and pageants. Painstakingly researched by ex-Royal Bargemaster Robert Crouch and professional researcher Beryl Pendley, this beautifully illustrated book offers a colourful insight into the role of the Bargemasters over the centuries, revealing the part they have played in both the day-to-day lives of the Royal Family and their contribution to great ceremonial occasions from the Plantagenets to our present Queen.
