Several new books have recently been published by staff from the School of Nursing and Midwifery.
Leadership, Management and Team Working in Nursing is written by Dr Shirley Bach, Head of the School of Nursing and Midwifery, and Peter Ellis of Canterbury Christchurch University. Leadership, management and team working have become central to the role of the nurse, as recognised in the latest NMC standards for education. This book aims to assist students in meeting the NMC requirements, and helps them apply recent leadership and management theory to the nurse's role.

Also published recently was the second edition of Communication and Interpersonal Skills in Nursing, by Dr Shirley Bach and Dr Alec Grant, a principal lecturer in the school. This book focuses on the importance of good communication and interpersonal skills, and their place in the new NMC standards for pre-registration nursing education. The new edition of this well-received book has been revised to cover the new standards and is now aimed specifically at first year students. New case studies help students understand how to use skills in practice and the theory of communication has been made easier to understand through scenarios and theory summaries.
