abstract: The principles of this book are sound. however, despite references to the National Institute for health and clinical excellence and the european Pressure Ulcer advisory Panel, american models are included that may confuse a UK audience. Many of the products discussed are not available in the UK and some practices are questionable, such as wet to dry debridement and the use of baking soda for odour control. The nursing alerts and tips raise awareness and there is a useful full-text personal digital assistant download.
