Financial Management is an area that many nurses now need to know about. However, it can be difficult to explore. The first edition aimed to introduce nurses to techniques, which they would come across in their training and in their careers, in a clear, concise and logical way. This second edition has been updated to include the latest health care reforms, and offers the most relevant content in the context of the new Primary Care Trusts, and Foundation Hospitals. It includes exercises and activities, and an enhanced glossary with new topical words and phrases.
