Special emphasis is placed on the care of patients both within and outside the hospital with chapters on counselling and the psycho–social aspects, palliative care and pain control, and two chapters by patients who are HIV positive which give insight into what it is like to be infected.

An excellent, what you need to know book
I began nursing in a spinal injuries ward and came across this book which was very helpful. It's basic, to the point and has good illustrations giving the reader a basic foundation in the spinal injuries subject.

Excellent, Well illustrated manual.
This book should be the first one to be read by medical students, nurses physiotherapists, Occupational therapists and doctors, who work in A+E, Spinal surgery units and spinal rehab units.
A mandatory text before attending patients with spinal injuries.
