Synopsis

This unique, authoritative book explores the spectrum of trauma care provided in the UK, discussing procedures for specific trauma presentations as well as the nurse's role in providing care in the emergency setting. Chapters on the relevant biosciences are included, which serve as an excellent source of review or instruction for nurses of all levels. In addition to the basic science dimensions of trauma nursing, the book also addresses clinical, psychosocial, and psychological aspects of care. Its structured approach to patient management presents information in an easy-to-follow format. Research evidence is used throughout to support the text, laying the foundation for expert nursing practice.

• Multidisciplinary approach makes the book relevant to current practice.
• Key learning points are highlighted with the text to help direct the reader's attention and encourage learning.
• A wide range of expert contributors makes the book a credible and authoritative source.
• Easy-to-understand chapters on fundamental biosciences expand readers' knowledge.

• Appropriate references and recommended sources for further reading help readers develop knowledge and insight.
• Structured textbook format facilitates learning, enables information to be found quickly, and makes the book more user-friendly.
• The section on pre-hospital care presents a key piece of the trauma care spectrum, rather than focusing solely on the nurse's role in in-hospital care.
