'Described by its publishers as the first nursing book of its kind, it focuses on the positioning of nurses within a multidisciplinary team, and outlines their role in the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of care for inflammatory bowel disease patients. It recommends that nurses provide continuity of care, support and information to patients from diagnosis onwards, helping to prevent crisis and deterioration and thereby aiding them to achieve the best possible quality of life.' - Times Higher Education Textbook Guide
"This is an excellent book, the first of its kind and it will undoubtedly be of great value to all nurses either working in the field of IBD or with a special interest. It would also be very useful for the wider MDT. All areas of IBD and its management are covered with a depth that will prove useful to even the most advanced nurse practitioner. It will, however, be particularly welcome for nurses new to specialist roles setting up IBD services, for whom there is much practical advice. The referencing is comprehensive, up to date and a useful resource in itself. This is a book to turn to for specific advice, to dip into and to be used to refresh and expand existing knowledge".Fran Bredin, IBD Nurse Specialist
