DEFINITELY ONE TO BUY!!!!!
I purchased this book after attending an IV course where it was used by the tutor- it is a fantastic book crammed full of the type of information needed on a busy ward- it's so good I showed it to other staff members including my ward manager who went into raptures, showed it to the modern matron & copies of the book have now been purchased for all the wards in the hospital
