Drawing together the best of text, video and interactive material for the complete A&P learning resource for nurses. Effective, holistic nursing is impossible without a firm grasp of how the human body functions, but knowledge of the scientific theory on its own is not enough. Using the person-centred practice framework as a guiding principle, this book brings anatomy and physiology to life combining the best of print and online learning into one integrated package.
Key features:
- Connects theory with nursing practice exploring the science from the perspective of a fictional family
- Supported by a rich array of video material including interactive figures, animations and mini-tutorials – perfect for visual learners
- Full of engaging activities designed to complement self-directed learning
- Written with the needs of nurses firmly in mind, focusing on the essential information
- Supported by a SAGE Edge website containing complete access to videos, animations, student revision material, action plans, downloadable figures, over 800 flashcards, and a bank of 170 online multiple choice questions for assessment use.

The team in consultation with our learners chose this as our preferred textbook to support their anatomy and physiology study. They particularly enjoy its relevance to health care practice and the way its information relates clearly to health, illness and disease. It has been the most popular and accessible textbook we have used in science for some time. Highly recommended. Additionally several learners have purchased the associated colouring book to aid their memory prior to end tests and exams. A really useful pair.
This resource is especially useful when used in conjunction with the interactive e-book. The video clips and person-centred approach complement the teaching and learning opportunities for students; enabling all adult learning styles to be accommodated.
Really good pre-sessional support for our science modules
Excellent book for undergraduate students, whether , ODP, Nurses or other. This essential reading and an asset.
excellent use of case studies which students can use throughout the course and use for 'apply' and 'evaluate'
This book is an excellent resource as it explains anatomy and physiology simply and has colourful diagrams. It is unique in the use of a fictional family that you can relate your understanding to. It also has sections on terminologies and abbreviations to assist student nurses.
Not child specific but a useful text otherwise.
A good overview of Anatomy and physiology, put into a clinical content for nursing students. This is an easy book t use, and uses clinical and physiological language but in such a clear and concise manner it is easy to understand even for those at the beginning of their training.
The cross-referencing of physiology helps avoid the temptation for students to try to understand systems in silos. However, there are some typos and Q3 in the endocrine system quiz has a wrong answer! Insulin does not raise blood sugar.
This book provided practical application of a topic that many pre-reg nursing students struggle with. The fact that the authors are from a nursing background is evident throughout and provides scenarios that they can relate to.
