How safe are nurses while caring for others? What risks to their own health does the caring role impose?
This timely edition of the essential handbook on occupational health for nurses takes into account the changes in health service policy, in health and safety law and in employers' rights that have occurred over the last decade. It will be indispensable for NHS safety representatives and union stewards, indeed for all nurses, midwives and health visitors in practice, management or education.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'The information is easy to follow and the layout means that each chapter can be dipped into as required...It provides a useful introduction to health and safety for those involved in the nursing profession.' - Gill Cotton Miosh, Journal of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health 'The book intersperses facts with many interesting case histories and amusing cartoons, making it very readable...I can recommend this book, not only to health and safety representatives, but also to any nurse who wants to improve on her or his own working conditions.' - Community Practitioner
