Information: With an interactive approach to learning, this series provides everything a student needs for their Foundation studies across the healthcare disciplines. The books can be used together as a complete learning tool or individually as dip-in reference guides. Each book is pitched at the right level for first year students or those on Return to Practice courses. Each title is written by an appropriate specialist in a non-technical style. Case studies and reflective activities prompt students to analyze their own experiences. Links to practice appear in the margins to demonstrate how theory has a practical application. Key words and phrases are highlighted with an explanation for each appearing in the margin. Rapid Recap provides questions at the end of each chapter to test students' understanding of the chapter contents. Over to You sections encourage proactive learning, suggesting further activities for students to carry out and document in their portfolio.
