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.
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.13/7/11.
The book is well organized and user friendly. Each chapter is easy to follow with informative subheadings. This book focuses on the nursing experience in the UK ... however, the sections on disease basics and disease management are relevant for all practitioners providing care to patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Some of the valuable highlights of the book include well-thought-out case studies and specific sections for key points. The authors also include a unique section, called a patient translation summary, which is extremely useful 5-star rating by Kathleen M Woodruff, RN, MS, CRNP (John Hopkins University School of Nursing) on Doody Enterprises, Inc., USA, Book Review Service.
