Description
This comprehensive text adopts a unique problem-based learning approach; a separate section on case studies helps students link theory to practice. It has been written by an international group of 35 contributors and is in full colour throughout. The breadth and depth of the material should make this book a core reference text and will appeal to both nurses and medical staff involved in the management of leg ulcers.
