Providing busy practitioners with the information they need to deliver care, and nursing students with a clear overview of the field, the Oxford Handbook of Orthopaedic and Trauma Nursing is an easily accessible, practical, and comprehensive guide to all aspects of practice. Orthopaedics and trauma is a major sector of acute hospital and community care, and one in which nurses and Allied Health Professionals play a pivotal role, covering the continuum from birth to
death and managing everything from emergency care to rehabilitation and discharge. This handbook is the ideal companion, presenting a broad spectrum of care and treatment across trauma and orthopaedics. It provides an evidence-based synopsis of contemporary care and treatment as well as an applied
assessment framework for those wishing to advance their practice.

Clearly laid-out, well-illustrated and written in a readable, note-based style, the Oxford Handbook of Orthopaedic and Trauma Nursing brings together the authors' many years of collective experience in one easy-to-use format which the practitioner and student won't want to be without.

Zielgruppe

Qualified nurses and Allied Health Professionals working within the field of orthopaedics and trauma, students studying nursing or physiotherapy.
