Mental Health Medicines Management for Nurses provides nursing students with guidance on how to manage medicines safely and effectively when treating patients with mental health conditions. It outlines how psychiatric drugs work, what the common treatments are, the ethical, legal, and person-centred aspects of working with psychiatric medicines, and how medicines can and should be used in mental health care. Using innovative activities and real-life case studies, this book has been carefully designed to be the ideal resource to build knowledge and confidence in this important area of practice. Key features: Updated in-line with the latest NMC standards of proficiency for registered nurses.

NEW: Increased emphasis on prescribing with new content on consultation, history taking, and decision-making when prescribing.

Diversity and Marginalisation in Childhood is a work of critical inclusive education. It is accessibly written but also demands critical thinking. Hamilton introduces readers to the philosophical and sociological schools upon which much policy and practice is based and encourages, through good use of case study-based tasks, readers to link theory with practice in inclusive education.
