Summary
This book demystifies health policy for nurses and nursing students and helps readers understand how what might appear to be remote policy decisions relate to their daily practice. Through the exploration of selected hot topics, such as patient involvement and dignity, the book helps nurses consider not only how to use policy in practice, but also how to use practice to influence policy. Patient narratives and case studies are followed through each chapter to show how policy issues can impact on real-life care. The book also shows how nurses can use an understanding of policy to develop their careers
