Ebook: Routine Blood Results Explained: A Guide for Nurses and Allied Health Professionals

Since the 2nd editions there have been changes. In this edition there are more details of immunology, immunological diseases, and the blood tests involved. A parallel series of changes has seen the growing responsibility of Nurses, Podiatrists and Physiotherapists. Many are now taking on new roles previously, these roles were undertaken by medical staff only, but it is now clear that appropriately trained professionals can be equipped to carry out these tasks. The objective of this book is to support and enable these professionals to be successful in their new roles. In recognising these roles, wherever possible, each chapter concludes with a brief case study. However, more complete case reports reflecting the different aspects of primary and secondary care are presented in the concluding chapters.
