"Superior... An important resource for
nurses"

Shanne McNamara, Vice President, British Association of
Neuroscience Nurses

Neuroscience Nursing is a comprehensive, practical text
that reflects both the richness and the diversity of contemporary
neuroscience nursing. It aims to inform the practice of
neuroscience nursing through the report of current research, best
available evidence, policy and education.

This important new book is divided into several sections
exploring anatomy and physiology of the nervous system; assessment,
interpretation and management of specific problems in the
neurological patient; neurological investigations and neurosurgical
procedures; management of patients with intracranial disorders; and
management of patients with long-term conditions. It also explores
the underpinning concepts of neuroscience care, including its
history and development, and legal and ethical issues. Uniquely,
this text also includes patients' perspectives of living with
a variety of neurological conditions.
