Rezensionen

'Besides its efficient use of international spheres to paint a complete (and varied) picture of the ACP role, another of this book's strengths is the academic rigour with which it is presented. Likely readers of this volume will be healthcare practitioners thoroughly involved in research, education and leadership (besides clinical expertise). They will find the book both extremely informative, as it is pitched at the right level of their academic maturity and critical reasoning. Furthermore, those studying to become ACPs will find the book infused with the professional discourse that is crucial to embody as part of developing into a cross-boundary role.' - Journal of Perioperative Practice
