Accident and emergency nursing / David Bradley.

"As Accident and Emergency Nursing is now being seen as a speciality of its own, and not merely a branch of ortho-paedics or a miscellany of conditions which other specialties do not want, the use of ward attitudes and theory is no longer sufficient. This new book provides the basic information and skills about A&E Nursing for both learner and trained staff. It covers the JBCNS syllabus for A&E Nurs-ing, and should be of immense help to staff nurses unable to attend such a course locally. For those in the ambulance service, there are points of interest relevant to their work and a clearer picture of the role of the A&E Nurse after the patient has been received in the Unit. The book is extensively illustrated with colour and black-and-white photographs and detailed drawings."--Provided by publisher.
