About the Author :
Tina Moore is a Senior Lecturer in Acute and High Dependency Care at Middlesex University, London. Philip Woodrow is a Practice Development Nurse in Critical Care at the East Kent Hospitals University NHS Trust, where he delivers a six-day course for ward staff caring for level 2 (highly dependent) patients.

Review :
'This second edition of Moore and Woodrow's text has been re-written to acknowledge the substantial contribution to high dependency care provided by nurses working on acute wards. This is achieved to good effect and the resulting text provides a valuable source of comprehensive, contemporary and easily accessible clinical knowledge and skills. This text should find a place on every acute ward and should also be recommended as a key text for final year undergraduate nurses. It is likely to also provide a rich source of reference for nurses working in primary care.' -- Ruth Endacott, University of Plymouth, UK 'This new edition includes important additional chapters, for example rehabilitation, which reflect recent changes to health provision and national guidelines. Other chapters are revised and provide up to date evidence to care for this growing group of patients. This comprehensive book continues to be an essential text for practitioners in critical and acute care.' -- Jane Roe, Kingston University and St George's, University of London, UK
