This book provides a comprehensive guide for nurses practicing in any
area of endocrinology and at any level of expertise. Endocrinology
Nursing is a fast-developing specialty with nurses performing advanced
roles and expanding their practice to run independent nurse-led
services. Supported by the European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) and
edited by members of the ESE Nurses Working Group, this is the first
book ever published specifically for endocrine nurses. It is also an
excellent resource for endocrinology specialty trainees, general
practitioners, medical and nursing students, expert patients and nurses
working in specialties such as fertility, osteoporosis, oncology,
obesity, urology and gynaecology, who look after patients with
endocrine-related disorders.
This volume includes 13
sections and 69 chapters providing a comprehensive overview of adult and
paediatric endocrinology but also a section on advanced practice, role
development and nursing research. It has been written by an
international team of more than 100 eminent nurses, physicians,
surgeons, psychologists and other healthcare professionals, which makes
this book a valuable resource for any multidisciplinary team. Many
patient advocacy groups have contributed with case studies which
emphasises the close working relationships with patients.
