"What we have in this textbook is a user friendly but rigorous presentation of the main competencies for professional nursing practice. Its easy style and 'readability' is one of its most pleasing features and the case studies, information boxes and key learning points give structure to the book as well as helping to engage readers. I recommend with enthusiasm this book to would-be readers. It is a solid and significant contribution to the on-going development of best nursing practice. It should be on the recommended reading list of any nurse who plans, delivers and evaluates patient care."Professor Hugh P. McKenna CBE, Pro Vice Chancellor, Research and Innovation, University of Ulster.
"To date, I would consider this the 'must-have' book on achieving competence for any nursing student in all four countries of the United Kingdom."Melanie Jasper, Professor of Nursing and Head of the College of Human and Health Sciences, Swansea University, UK
