Long-Term Conditions: A Guide for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals

“This text would be useful for students and practitioners new to the role.”  (Primary Health Care, 1 September 2012)

“All healthcare professionals who treat or care for patients with long term conditions should read this book whether they are working in primary, secondary, tertiary care, for the NHS, a hospice, social services or a voluntary organisation.”  (Nursing Times, 13 September 2012)

Taking a partnership approach that is focused on key issues and concepts in living with condition, rather than focusing on disease, Randall and Ford offer a textbook for nursing and health care practitioners that explores issues involved in the care of patients with chronic diseases conditions. (Book News, 2011)

Well organized and easy to read, with many case studies and adequate references... This book is notable for its focus on the importance of a teamwork approach to care for individuals who live with a chronic condition. It also emphasizes the continuity of care model in order to set the framework of care delivery. It is a wonderful tool for care coordinators or care providers. (Doodys, October 2011)

Well structured, attractively presented and easy-to-follow...full of useful information and through-provoking ideas (Emergency Nurse, November 2011)

This excellent book takes a needs-led approach. I particularly liked the points for reflection that encourage readers to develo their own practice to improve patient experience. (Nursing Older People, December 2011)

5*. This comprehensive text explores key concents with clear explanations, diagrams and case studies. I recommend it to newly qualified and experienced nurses, as well as nursing students. (Nursing Standard, October 2011)
