Recenzii

"This is a practical handbook for long term condition management, suitable for pre and post registration nurses, but not solely to the nursing profession. Despite the scale and complexity of this subject, the author presents a well structured, engaging and accessible guide. This is supported by the use of summary key points and reference to further reading; excellent prompts for reflection are liberally used and a whole chapter on case studies brings the text to life. The patient perspective is always present and recognition of the knowledge they have of their condition(s). The importance of using knowledge comes through strongly, not only through a dedicated chapter but threaded through the book, for example the reference to evidence underpinning self management practice. The author highlights the importance of not throwing out initiatives that work for the sake of something new. Despite digital health being an ever changing area, the author provides a useful overview of this topic. Recognising the speed of technological developments she offers other sources for evolving updates." - Sian Jones, registered nurse and former respiratory nurse specialist
