Like much in life,we take it for granted until our health,or that of our family or friends,is com- promised in some way.As a reader of this successful and important textbook,you will be some- where on your journey towards or returning to gaining a licence to practise as a registered nurse and therefore in a position to make a difference to people’s health and well-being. I have had the privilege to witness the enormous positive contribution that nurses and nurs- ing make to the lives of individuals, families and communities nationally and internationally. Challenges to health,not least lifestyle,longevity and enduring illnesses,are constantly emerg- ing and changing.Meeting these challenges demands development of knowledge and practice based on evidence and skills,while maintaining the humanity and compassion that are at the heart of nursing care.This book makes a significant contribution to that development. We are fortunate in the UK to have strong professional self-regulation made explicit in the NMC Code (2008),which sets out standards of conduct,performance and ethics for nurses and midwives.These standards are a pledge to the public as a statement of what can be expected of qualified nurses and midwives,and they articulate the values that underpin nursing and mid- wifery education and practice.That’s why this book is important – it is the first in which the 2008 NMC Code forms a major theme throughout. Public and patient involvement and the importance of the patient experience are now key fea- tures of health care development,and I am delighted to see that the first chapter of this book is writ- ten by a patient about his experience and expectations of nursing.Equally important is the chapter that follows on the perspective of someone who is experiencing what it is like learning to become a nurse.These first two chapters followed by Professor Dame June Clark’s chapter on the essence of nursing set the tone for a text that helps to create a practical,academically robust and highly relevant foundation for current and future nursing practice – one of the best careers in the world. I hope you enjoy your journey. Christine Hancock ix
