Industry Reviews

`A refreshing read... from a readers point of view it both informs them of the theory and policy context but also empowers them by suggesting and including practical examples and tools ' Danny Walsh, Lecturer, Mental Health, Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences, The University of Nottingham `By reading this book I think students will be challenged to consider how they should develop their practice to meet the needs of this group. I feel they would find the practical approach offered to be particularly helpful. ' Lisa Poynor, Community Learning Disability Nurse, Community Team for People with Learning disabilities, Surrey and Boarders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust `Written in a way that would be ideal for a 1st or 2nd year nursing students. ' Graham MacIntosh, University of Glasgow `Relevant, contemporary and easy to read... an excellent overview which would be a good starting point for new readers in the subject.' Gary Blatch, Dementia Strategy Manager, South Essex Partnership Foundation Trust
