Key features include:
- a new chapter on Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards.
- Up-to-date information related to the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and the Francis Report.
- Real life case studies to help students think critically about difficult clinical situations.
- End-of-chapter scenarios activities with suggested answers to reinforce knowledge.
