Nursing practice : knowledge and care
The way in which health and social care is delivered continues to change and this is appropriate as these changes occur in order to respond to the needs of people. The changes bring with them a range of challenges for nurses and other health and social care professionals. The needs of people in relation to their health and well-being demand that nurses are knowledgeable and up to date with contemporary practice and this is absolutely right, the public need to know that the people providing care are fit for purpose and fit for practice. This is a tall order given the transformations that are occurring within the ever widening sphere of health and social care (wherever this may be) and the amount of knowledge the nurse needs to possess in order to be able to say confidently and competently that they are up to date are changing on a daily basis.
The content of this book is derived from a variety of sources, for example, the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s (NMC) (2010) Standards for Pre registration and the Royal College of Nursing’s (RCN) (2012) Principles of Nursing Practice. There are a number of themes and trends that are driving strategic direction and change within and without of the nursing profession and these too have had an impact on the chapters within the book.
Nursing Practice: Knowledge and Care provides you with much information to enable you to develop a deeper understanding of issues that impact on the health and well-being of the people that nurses serve. The book has been written by a number of expert practitioners and academics who are passionate about the art and
the science of nursing, dedicated to the health and well-being of the public and committed to nurse education and the notion of lifelong learning.
