Study Skills

‘The contents of the book are laid out in an attractive, bright and easy to navigate format making it inclusive for all. The tone of the content is very positive, helping students enhance their employability and embracing the prospect of becoming a lifelong learner. There are many activities which can be utilised by lecturers during classes, to enhance development of study skills in all related subjects. I would highly recommend this book as an essential text and am already using and recommending it to pre-registration nurses of all fields.’

‘Resilience is an underpinning feature of the book and indeed a chapter is dedicated to this discussion. With recent events of COVID-19 pandemic this focus is particularly welcomes as students navigate the balance of their studies with the demands and uncertainties of learning in practice where their resilience is challenged. The chapter on employability skills helps prepare the students for the future workplace which coupled with a chapter on lifelong learning helps futureproof the learner for working in health and social care areas.
In a saturated market of study skills books this book stands out and is a must have for those embarking on programmes of study in health and social care.’
Research Professor, University of Chester

‘My favourite thing about this publication was its paradoxical brevity and detail. I felt I was learning something during every paragraph, but that it was chunked into manageable, concise information.
The end of chapters was perfect; a conclusion, a summary, AND a quiz. I thought this was a great idea - to consolidate information, to make it interactive, and to know it’s there and I can flick back to that one page when I need to.’
