A very good, concise book with essential information on assessment. I will be recommending it to my undergraduate students -- Mr John Hyde * drupal *

Its concise and straight forward and the students find it easy to use and reference to support their own work. -- Mr Simon Hall * drupal *
This is a very useful book for undergraduate mental health nurses. It combines theory with activities giving it a workbook feel, encouraging students to engage and / or work independently. The linking in of NMC requirements is especially important. -- Mrs Berni Addyman * drupal *
I really liked the simplicity of this book. I liked the use of case-studies and activities as it makes the book more interactive. -- Mrs Dawn Davidson * drupal *
I have passed this book to several Mental Health Lecturer colleagues as some of the scenarios provide a great forum for discussion. The chapter on challenges to assessment got the students engaged in great debate where they shared some very interesting practice examples in order to relate theory to practice. -- Mrs Jackie Robertson * drupal *
This book is reasonably accessible for student nurses. Provides some concise information regarding assessment which is essential for anyone responsible for assessment. -- Mrs Jayne Firestone * drupal *
I found that this text book combined all the elements I needed for my students. The layout of the book was excellent -- Ms Aine McHugh * drupal *
Essential reading for student nurses embarking on the degree programme. The book highlights the importance of assessment and subsequent impact on decision making in the mental health environment. -- Ms Carole Germaine * drupal *
This book is very useful for mental health undergraduate nursing students. I will recommend it to the students from the MH specialty who undertake my module. A strength, I think, are the case studies. A weakness, for me, is the focus on NMC Standards. -- Ms Daniela Lehwaldt * drupal *
A useful text for nursing students which relates clearly to the NMC outcomes. -- Ms Zoe Cowie * drupal *
