Reviews / Votes
'The second edition of this excellent text has been revised and updated to reflect the evolving evidence base for neonatal practice. It continues to be an essential resource for neonatal staff, containing comprehensive material on all aspects of neonatal intensive care' - Susanne Simmons, University of Brighton, UK'Advances and changes in practice are a daily issue for health care professionals, particularly so in the field of neonatal intensive care. For this reason the new edition of this well-used text is welcomed. It presents a structure for understanding the specialised delivery of care that neonatal nurses, advanced nurse practitioners, midwives and child health nurses need to grasp and use in daily practice. The chapters are highly motivational...evidenced with relevant references that can be followed through into links with the Internet. Importantly it is well structured and easy to read, involving the reader with topical questions and care scenarios.' - Barbara Weller, Editor, Infant, UK
'Written by nurses for nurses, this thoroughly enjoyable book is an essential resource for the bookshelf in every neonatal unit.' - Valerie McGurk, Nursing Standard, July 2011
