ENDORSEMENTS
This fantastic book really is a must! Wonderfully written, easy to read and well-structured. It takes real life case studies, explores underpinning theory and illustrates clear application to contemporary clinical practice. This is definitely no dry academic text! The humour in this book makes it a genuine pleasure to read and provides thought provoking questions making it feel like an interactive experience. This effortless way of closing the theory-practice gap and ensuring continual professional development for both students and qualified paramedics is inspired.
