"Everyone who has a passion for the development of nursing
practice, and who wants further insights and tools and techniques
to use. The book does lends itself to staff who are able to
influence and implement change e.g. ward sister, deputy ward
sister, clinical nurse specialist's, district nurses and
health visitors." (Nursing Times, 9 July
2014)

"This is a wonderful book that will inform the continuing
evolution of healthcare. It is current and evidence-based, and is a
source of pertinent information for all members of the healthcare
team. The second edition is necessary to remain
current." (Doody's, 28 February 2014)
"Now available in a second edition, this updated guide offers
a valuable insight into what practice development is, what it is
not, its core components, the underpinning theory and the practice
development journey." (Nursing Standard, 16
July 2013)
