Rezensionen

'It would be helpful to have on the shelf of your nurse's office or in your personal collection. If you are new to dermatology and on your journey to becoming a specialist nurse, I would very much recommend this book. For those of you like me who have worked for many years in this exciting field you will be sure to find new information on the less familiar topics you come across in your clinical setting. This book lays the foundations to equip nurses to move closer towards the status of "specialist nurse".' - Dermatological Nursing, Vol 18. No 4
