An experienced and multi-disciplinary team of authors map out the intricate interplay between pathophysiology and diagnostic decision-making, two pivotal cornerstones of advanced practice in healthcare

»The Advanced Practitioner in Pathophysiology and Diagnostics« serves as an indispensable resource for practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding and refine their skills, as the mastery of these fundamental concepts becomes ever more crucial in an evolving healthcare landscape.

This authoritative and comprehensive guide provides readers with an evidence-based, person-centred approach to the study of the functional changes that occur within the body due to disease or injury. With this knowledge, advanced practitioners must then build their diagnostic and treatment strategies, synthesising patient history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. This text supports the advanced practitioner in developing a deeper understanding of both the mechanisms that drive disease and the critical thinking behind the diagnostic process.

»The Advanced Practitioner in Pathophysiology and Diagnostics« readers will also find:
  • Practical guidance on diagnostic strategies, emphasising the importance of evidence-based practice and differential diagnosis
  • A multi-disciplinary approach suitable for a range of clinical backgrounds
  • Detailed discussion of topics including pathophysiological processes, providing a robust foundation for clinical decision-making

»The Advanced Practitioner in Pathophysiology and Diagnostics« is ideal for healthcare professionals interested in or undertaking advanced level practice, as well as for students completing the pathophysiology module on their MSc in advanced practice.
