This series looks at some of the ways in which Nursing Development Units (NDUs) have tried to make their nursing more beneficial for patients. The nurses assess to what extent their initiatives really do contribute to patient well-being and what has helped them bring about the changes. Each book will help nurses to introduce new ideas to their work and will suggest ways to evaluate changing practice. Each of the eight booklets describes a particular process in detail.
