    Complete with a full exploration of basic anatomy and physiology, together with the care and treatment of common disorders, Learning to Care also comes with a wide range of helpful learning features such as 'Hot Spots' and the 'Medicine Trolley', all designed to aid learning and help foster safe clinical practice. The volume comes complete with a downloadable image bank to assist with assignments.
