Trade Review
“Comprehensive and nicely laid out with good use of colour to highlight the different approaches to presentation of information. It provides a comprehensive introductory coverage of all the main topics... regardless of branch programme the students will eventually follow. A wide base text which is likely to be useful for several modules rather than a very specific text which students may only use for one module.” - Roger Cobley, Birmingham City University
“The text is an exciting, clear and essential textbook for pre-registration nursing students. It sets the scene, shows application to practice, helps to make nursing practice more understandable and so enhances the student’s learning experience.” - Martin Bailey, Canterbury Christ Church University
“Kozier is an excellent resource for students throughout their training, and could be used as the starting point for most of their assessments. Overall, it is an excellent text that I will have no hesitation in recommending to my students.” - Dorothy Adam, The Robert Gordon University
