Editorial Reviews

"This Workbook is a' must-have' resource for clinical educators, coaches and clinical facilitators as well as academic teachers. (Our coaches are all lining up for a copy!).  We have trialled the contents in simulation scenarios as well as the clinical context and the comprehensive, well researched and evidence-based content has impressed everyone.  The great attention to detail means that even the most difficult questions can usually be answered either within the content or the accompanying volume of Potter & Perry."
