Written primarily with nurses in mind, this book provides a comprehensive overview of venous thromboembolism, a condition that rears its head regardless of specialty, killing thousands of people around the world in hospital beds and in the community alike. This book explains what it is, what symptoms to watch out for, how patients should be managed, and perhaps most importantly, how to prevent its development in those at risk. 
Based on the most up-to-date published guidelines on the subject, the book is pitched at a level appropriate for medical and nursing staff alike, covering basic pathophysiology and clinical management. A chapter is devoted to specific nursing interventions, giving practical tips alongside the theory. Case studies are used extensively, alongside tables, diagrams and text boxes, to illustrate important points. Although designed to be read as a whole, each chapter can be used as a reference to address specific queries, enabling health professionals to develop a greater understanding of the condition to provide optimal patient care.

The Coronavirus pandemic in 2020 has changed life as we know it and thrust the NHS into the spotlight. A nation in lockdown has adorned windows with rainbows and stepped onto doorsteps every Thursday to celebrate the people who are risking their lives by turning up to work. But as the grim reports of deaths from the disease cumulate, along with stories of insufficient protective equipment for staff, there is hope that the crisis will raise awareness and bring change to the way the NHS and its people are treated.At midnight on 5 July 1948, the National Health Service was born with the founding principal to be free at the point of use and based on clinical need rather than on a person's ability to pay. Over seventy years since its formation, these core principals still hold true, but the world has changed. Persistent underfunding has not kept pace with increased demand for healthcare, leading to longer waiting times, staffing shortages and low moral.This book traces the history of our health service, from Victorian healthcare and the early 20th century, through a timeline of change to the current day, comparing the problems and illnesses of 1948 to those we face today. Politics and funding are demystified and the effects of the pandemic are discussed, alongside personal stories from frontline staff and patients who have experienced our changing NHS.

At midnight on 5th July 1948, the National Health Service was born with the founding principle to be free at the point of use and based on clinical need rather than on a person’s ability to pay. Seventy years since its formation, these core principles still hold true, although the world we now live in is a very different place to the post war era in which it was formed, and the long term sustainability of the service in its current form is questionable. This book traces the history of our health service, from Victorian healthcare in the early 20th century, through a timeline of change to the current day, comparing the problems and illnesses of 1948 to those we face seventy years later. Politics, funding, and healthcare systems around the world are demystified and we present case studies, views and snapshots from history from people who have experienced our changing NHS.

Winner of the Britsh Medical Association Young Authors Award, Highly Commended in the Primary Health Care category, September 2015! This is a unique resource for trainee GPs written by three GPs who recently passed the CSA having put together these cases as part of their preparation for the exam. Designed to be used by GP revision groups, the ring-bound pack provides 64 cases structured around the RCGP curriculum statement areas. The book is designed to allow each member of the revision group to act as ‘doctor’, ‘patient’ or ‘observer’ and to take out just the pages they need ahead of the next revision session – this makes the practice consultations as exam-like as possible. Each case features:information for the doctor – this page provides the doctor with a brief summary of their patientinformation for the patient – this page provides all the background information (including ICE, information divulged freely and information only divulged if specifically asked about) to allow the person in your group to ‘act’ as the patient; on the back of this page are any results and examination findings that you can provide to the doctor if they ask for it appropriatelymarking scheme for the observer – this page provides the observer in your group with a simple checklist of positive and negative descriptors in each of the three domains (data gathering, clinical management and interpersonal) To help further with revision, each curriculum area is split up into:possible cases – lists the cases most likely to come up in the CSA (including emergency and ‘special’ cases, where there may be an ethical dilemma, an angry patient or scenario which focuses more on consultation skills than clinical content)revision notes – these provide the key NICE and SIGN guidelines, along with other helpful references and websites, that the whole group can read ahead of a revision session on that curriculum areamaterial for the patient – a list of resources that you could usefully guide the patient towards in the consultationpractice explanations – topics, tests and procedures that you should be able to describe to the patient in a couple of minutespractice examinations – procedures you should be able to undertake confidently Your revision group needs just a single copy of CSA Cases Workbook rather than multiple copies of any other book, and no photocopying needed either!
