Description
This book is part of the Transforming Nursing Practice series, written specifically to support nursing students on the new degree programme.
Health policy can appear complex and remote from nursing practice. This book demystifies health policy and helps you understand how policy decisions relate to your daily practice. Through the exploration of selected hot topics, such as patient involvement and dignity, the book helps you to consider how not only to use policy in practice, but also how to use practice to influence policy. Patient narratives and case studies are followed through each chapter to show how policy issues can impact on real life care. The book also shows how you can use an understanding of policy to develop your career.
Key Features:
- Shows how policy impacts on the real world and how you can use it to improve care or change practice
- Regular activities help you to engage with policy issues
- Enables you to see how to use policy in practice yourself
- Supports you in meeting the NMC requirements for registration
