Report
"...a thorough, user-friendly and attractively presented reference book. I found that, unlike some other dictionaries, it contained an entry for almost every word and/or term that I looked up whilst road-testing it. My first test was to look up appendicular skeleton , a term that was unfamiliar to me when I came across it whilst reviewing a paper; the dictionary explained it." Journal of Clinical Nursing
An essential text on every ward and every nurse s book shelf ... I would go so far as to recommend that it is the first book that student nurses should buy with their meagre book allowance!"
Journal of Advanced Nursing
"This dictionary is clear, concise and easy to use...My advice to anyone wishing to purchase a nursing dictionary would be to...buy this one"
