MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

"The Clinical Pocket Reference" series of handbooks for health professionals provides immediate access to key data in a portable and indestructible format, designed to provide a ready reference for training, and, importantly, in the key worker's pocket, or at the work station. Operating Department Practitioners (ODPs) provide high standards of patient care and skilled support alongside medical and nursing colleagues in operating theatre and recovery suite during peri-operative care. This book provides instant access to a wide range of key data that will support good practice by the ODP at any time. The student ODP or other perioperative practitioners undertaking learning will find this book an essential companion during clinical placements, whichever qualification pathway they are following. The authors teach ODP at Oxford Brookes and Surrey Universities, and have drawn on their experience as practitioners and teachers to assemble this core collection of data. The book is fully referenced throughout to original research and further reading, enabling the user to explore any aspect of the subject in more detail. This is a truly practical handbook for the busy professional.
