Reviews

The book features multiple contributors from a variety of clinical, academic and leadership roles as well as viewpoints on many aspects of care from students, parents and most importantly, children. The book signposts the student to consider critical aspects of practice throughout such as 'safeguarding stop points', 'what's the evidence?' boxes and links to critical thinking or reflection. The book is aimed at second and third year children's nursing students and keeps this audience firmly in focus with reference to a review panel of students. It would also be a good introductory resource for any qualified nurse newly caring for children and young people. -- Ibadete Fetahu
