A key text with multiple relevant topics covered and case studies and examples to help the students apply their knowledge of theory in the classroom prior to applying to their own experiences of undertaking QI in practice
Overall this series is very accessible and directly applicable to nursing and associate courses with this this book being no different. The subject is pitched at the right level of difficulty to elucidate understanding, but not patronise with simplicity. A good example of this is table 5.1 which compares and contrasts a 6 stage project management guide, with 5 change management theories.
This book should be a serious consideration for your study or course.
Good resource to support student learning
An accessible and informative text which guides the reader through approaches to quality improvement and the importance of this in practice.
I am just about to use the contents of this text in my lecturing with my MSc student nurses from March 2023. It outlines step-by-step how to improve quality issues in nursing which, at times, are generic issues.
