"A highly professional symposium textbook which comes at a good moment for public relations ... and this reminds us that [nurses] are not just carers and moppers-up when the doctors are otherwise engaged, but themselves skilled and knowledgeable health practitioners..."
Books Ireland Dec 1999
"This book encompasses many of the things I have learnt over the years to discuss with BSc, MSc and PhD students and clinically-based nurses, prior to supporting them through their research. I will save myself some time and loan them the book. I rather wish I had written it myself."
