Research is important yet many pre and post graduate nurses and allied health professionals fear it. [This book] can help demystify research for the novice, yet support more experienced researchers and academics. It is easy to read and incorporates UK legislation and changes in healthcare and research agendas such as including patient and public involvement. -- Jenny Abraham, Journal of Perioperative Practice
