„This is an excellent book for students from the United Kingdom who are pursuing advanced degrees, as well as for students and educators from other countries who are interested in advanced practice nursing in the United Kingdom.“ (The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing)„As an adult nurse practitioner, I found this book valuable indescribing the development of practice in the past five years byexpressly addressing overall practice rather than specific nursingcare. This edition is notable for its description of currentadvanced practice, and is needed because of the recentdevelopments.“
