Excellent and invaluable resource for our students. Easy to follow and understand. Well laid out, great support and guidance for revision of content.
A colourful and engaging book, relevant and interesting resource for our learners to develop subject knowledge.
Straight forward text to read and follow- I refer this text to year 1 nursing students of all fields. Feedback from the students- they generally like this book as it is straight forward to understand and follow.
I have found this text works very well in conjunction with Essentials of Nursing Practice and Essentials of Pathophysiology. It provides a sound resource for students who have previously studied A&P and a foundation for those who are new to the subject.
Decision on adoption of the title cannot be provided at this stage. Will consider later on in 2021
Really great, comprehensive book for the nursing schemes which whilst comprehensive is not overly daunting. Presents all aspects of the essentials of A&P in a very easy-to-understand way with some great illustrations. Contains exactly what you would hope of such a text.
Quickly became the 'go to' book for students following recommendation. An excellent Anatomy & Physiology book.
Really easy to use and great for students
I no longer teach on the module that I had considered this for, have discussed the book with the module leader
I very much enjoy this book and have recommended for several of the nursing modules. I use it for prep every day
