Rezensionen

"This book is easy to read and navigate. The structure of the book leads the reader
to be challenged into finding out more
information and thinking about how
this information can be used in practice.
The chapters are presented in a clear
way with a similar layout throughout all
sections that enables the readers to find
areas of interest quickly. While most of
the subject matter is not new, this book
pulls it together into a handy textbook
that is very informative and will benefit
those undertaking their Care Certificate
and any health and social care assistant to
really explore the fundamentals of their
role and constantly improve their practice
to ensure high-quality care is given." (BJHCA March 2017)
