′This book covers everything that was in my first year anatomy
module. The layout and text to diagram ratio is great and allows
the reader to think and learn in a different way. Being dyslexic,
this style of book is ideal as diagrams and sections can be colour
coordinated making revising better and quicker once the book has
been completed.′
*Megan Johnston, Nursing Student*
′The book equally challenged and supported my understanding of
anatomy and physiology whilst making links to nursing practice.
Being able to label and colour in diagrams allowed me to test my
current understanding to highlight areas of improvement. The brief
descriptions throughout each chapter supported the activities well
and links to the anatomy and physiology book are useful to access
further information. Overall, it is a great way to revise anatomy
and physiology without simply writing notes or reading a textbook.
It will definitely be my go to book for A&P revision, it′s
surprising how much can be learnt whilst colouring in.′
*Russell Aris, Nursing Student*
′I really like the layout of this book and how it looks at the
holistic needs of the patient as well as the science related
topics. As a visual learner this is a great book for working
through to gain knowledge and to then reference back to. A
must have I think before undertaking a health science academic
course/study.′
*Sian Gibbon, Nursing Student*
′As a 3rd year Midwifery student, I found this book very helpful
for my revision of A&P. Having a short and easy to read
description of the biological process for each section, assisted
with ensuring that I was aware of what I was going to be working
on. This also links in beautifully with the textbook and enabled me
to build on what I have already been learning. I also found it very
useful to have prompts in the chapters to revise sections within
the main textbook. Working with the textbook is helpful but this
colouring book is also great on its own. Colouring a workbook is
fun and calming. I really like colouring workbooks and for someone
like me, who is a hands-on and a visual learner, this sticks with
me and my memory retains it much easier - what a great way to
learn!′
*Melissa Cohen, Midwifery Student*
′I think that the concept for this workbook is excellent. It
promotes mastery of the topics without being too difficult. It can
really work as a complement to a detailed textbook.′
*Francis Geronimo*
′I think that the colouring book is an amazing idea!′
*Robyn Ambrose, 1st year Nursing Student*
′I think it is a great idea! Colouring and labelling hugely helps
me learn and revise, but sometimes in class I don′t have time but
this book would save that time!′
*Megan Copas, 1st year Nursing Student*
′I was testing myself the other day to see what I could remember
from the anatomy and physiology unit last year. I think a book like
this is a really good way of engaging you in testing and revising
what you already know.′
*Daniel Peay, 1st year Nursing Student*
An excellent resource for learning and as someone who struggled
with learning about Anatomy and Physiology I regret not having one!
There is useful supplementary information on each page and the
focus on Person Centred Practice was a welcomed surprise
