Review from previous edition This book offers instant access to
perioperative information that practitioners' will find useful
within their clinical practice...a valuable guide and I would
recommend it to student nurses and operating department
practitioners.
*Journal of Perioperative Practice Open Forum 2009*
The text reflects contemporary best practice...this handbook will
be particularly helpful for students and newly qualified operating
department practitioner...I would have loved this book as a newly
qualified practitioner, I could see myself buying this book,
especially if I decided to move to another hospital or region
again, to refresh my knowledge regarding different surgical
specialities and perioperative approaches...have already
recommended the book to my students as it would be a huge asset
whilst writing their assignments and a great help during practical
placements and at the start of their careers.

Healthcare NHS Trust, UK*
