The book addresses all the competencies for communication skills outlined in the 2018 NMC standards and features insightful contributions from experienced nurses and healthcare leaders across different clinical fields.

Helping students to become confident, assured communicators when interacting with patients, whilst on placement and into their post-registration nursing career.

The new edition includes the following updates:

·         A new chapter on person-centred care and intercultural communication.
