"This is a worthwhile resource for students. Those who are struggling to grasp the complex evolution of our healthcare systems will find a clear outline of key events and policy decisions... This book cannot give students live experience, but it provides an effective and informative briefing."-Review in Nursing Standard, 5/5 stars.

This book is part of the Transforming Nursing Practice series, written specifically to support students on pre-registration nursing programmes.

Nurses do not work in a vacuum. A wide variety of factors impact on the scope of nursing practice, such as government policies, the media, education, future healthcare directions and service users themselves. It is therefore essential that nurses understand these factors in order to deliver quality care. This book provides a clear and practical introduction to such contexts for the nursing student. The new edition (formerly Nursing in Contemporary Healthcare Practice) has been revised to provide clear coverage of the organisational structures students will find themselves working in, the various bodies involved in healthcare policy and the big issues in current and future healthcare delivery.

Key Features:

-Linked to the latest NMC generic competencies, Essential Skills Clusters and QAA descriptors

-New skills-building activities help students build core skills such as critical thinking and reflection

-Case studies and scenarios link theory to practice

-Fully up-to-date with latest developments including all-graduate nursing entry, changes to the Healthcare Commission, the Darzi report and review of nursing careers, the NHS constitution, practice based commissioning, and the new government

Series Editor: Dr. Shirley Bach is Head of the School of Nursing and Midwifery at the University of Brighton
