A great book for the student nurse library.
‘This book is a fantastic resource for any student nurse. I really wish I had had this book sooner as it really would have helped with many of my assignments. I like the way the book has web links too that are easy to access and save lots of time. I would highly recommend this book whatever field of nursing you are studying.’

Wish I had discovered it sooner.
‘As an adult nursing student, I've really enjoyed reading this book and found the information really relevant to my studies. Throughout the book there are also lots of directed activities you can do to increase your knowledge which I really like. I also like the fact that the book focuses on the issue of mental health as well as physical health as I think mental health is quite often left out when thinking of promoting health.
Overall, I have found this book very useful and I just wish I had discovered it sooner as I think it would have been extremely helpful for my public health module!’
Amazon reviewer
Fab resource for student nurses!
‘10/10 I would recommend this book to fellow nursing students! This book has offered so much as a resource and reference for both essays and presentations. I absolutely love that it has activities within the chapters to apply knowledge to – makes reading that bit more enjoyable! Just wish I had discovered this book earlier in my degree, as it has proven to be an amazing allrounder resource that I have used for all my modules so far in third year!’
Amazon reviewer
A fabulous resource!
‘100% recommend this to any student nurse wanting to expand their library. It has every topic you could need for your nursing degree. It has covered every topic throughout my degree and more. It has an excellent reference list too for further depth and exploration. It has web links too which is also really helpful! A brilliant book that I'll continue to recommend to other students.’
Amazon reviewer
Every student nurse should have this on their bookshelf.
‘This is a great book that all student nurses and nurses should have on their bookshelf as it will be relevant to many aspects of the nursing degree and understanding health at a wider level. It's easy to read and relevant. I recently used it for background reading in my final mental health nursing exam but I wish I'd found it sooner.’
