The QR codes in this book are great, very easy to use and give immediate online access to the material that you are studying. I just scan and have the videos playing on my phone and can link it to the page of the book that I am working through with no confusion.
The book is very informative and gives you detailed insight into the topic. The QR codes were easy to scan and the videos came up very quickly after scanning. The QR codes allow you to look further into the topic and because you are using a device and the paper copy of the book, you are able to look at the book and watch the video at the same time.
I like this book is because it sets out each of the chapters into four components, it gives you the key concepts that you're gonna be covering and the learning outcomes. The main reason I love it is because it comes with a matching revision colouring book that allows you to learn in a slightly more relaxing way.
It's a well laid out book on A&P, which complements not just my module but all other modules where A&P forms common foundation of the knowledge that is being taught.
Excellent for nurses at the right level for students from diverse educational backgrounds
What sets this anatomy and physiology book apart is the patient-centred care framework that is consistently applied throughout. The chapters are organised in a manner that allows readers to progressively enhance their understanding of the subject matter. Additionally, there are supplementary learning resources for students and teaching materials for instructors. As an educator, I highly recommend this book to my student
Excellent resource for student and newly qualified nurses. A&P made accessible with a focus on person centred care. Linking A&P to the 'Bodie family' brings A&P to life and the online resources really support learning. Thankyou.
Again, excellent and links very well to the pathophysiology book. Excellent recommendations for learners to read.
Excellent and invaluable resource for our students. Easy to follow and understand. Well laid out, great support and guidance for revision of content.
A colourful and engaging book, relevant and interesting resource for our learners to develop subject knowledge.
