Understanding how to deliver effective, person-centred care is vital for a future career as a Nursing Associate. In this book, trainee nursing associates are introduced to the principles of person-centred care, with case studies from a variety of healthcare settings and guidance on caring for different patient groups, from acute care to long-term and palliative care. This allows TNAs to see how the theory can be directly applied to their daily practice, regardless of where they work.

- Designed around a Nursing Associate course, this book demonstrates how person-centred care feeds into each core module.

I am thrilled to see this text written specifically for Nursing Associates. Aligning to the NMC Standards of Proficiency and with reference to a wide variety of patient/client considerations across the lifespan, this is an invaluable read for any Nursing Associate student embarking on their educational journey.
