At last! A new Churchill Livingstone core textbook for the 'Children' branch of the Project 2000 nursing curriculum. The approach to the nursing of children has undergone a quiet revolution in the past 10 years, culminating in the development of the new curriculum for the P2000 branch course. This book is the product of that curriculum development, and is designed for use by students and registered nurses opting for this branch. Registered nurses 'converting' to become children's nurses will also use thisbook. The text adopts the new holistic approach to caring for the whole child, including more information on normal child development, the role of the family. This approach is combined with a very practical and comprehensive section on caring for the sickchild. The text is set out in the same attractive and user-friendly way as 'Common Foundation Studies in Nursing', which has proved highly accessible to, and popular with students and teachers alike. The text is research-based, cites references and gives rationales for care - reflecting the contemporary drive to underpin nursing skills academically. A core textbook for the huge 'Children' branch of the new nurse education curriculum A British authored book, using familiar examples of practical situations (many of the books currently in use in this subject area are adapted from US texts, making them less than ideal for the UK nursing curriculum) Holistic approach to the care of children reflects contemporary practice Tried and tested presentation and style of content - promotes comprehension and enjoyment of learning Ideally qualified authors who have been instrumental in advancing the practice of children's nursing in the UK
