Media Reviews
The book has been revised, updated and expanded to include a wider range of issues such as recent legislation and the NHS structure and current initiatives. It remains a comprehensive and valuable text, reflecting the dynamic and ever changing nature of health care. The text has an up-to-date feel about it, mentioning the recent cases of Allitt, Shipman and Ledward, (it) is clearly written and avoids legal jargon. Nursing Ethics 2002, 9, Book reviews
