Perioperative Care of the Child
Edited by well-known and highly-regarded children’s nurse Linda Shields, Perioperative Care of the Child is an essential resource for any children’s nurse working in a perioperative setting and all student nurses on the child branch.

This essential resource benefits from an international perspective, with contributions from experienced and highly-specialised clinicians from around the world.
