Reviews

'Although intended for nurse specialists, the book will be of interest to a wide variety of other healthcare professionals. The book's well laid-out formulary of minor illnesses could prove particularly invaluable to independent nurse prescribers... copies should be kept in every ED and GP surgery.' Lynda Gibbons, advanced nurse practitioner in the emergency department of Our Lady's Hospital, Navan, Ireland, Emergency Nurse Journal
