The Royal Marsden Hospital Manual of Standards of Care by Joanna M. Luthert
For health care professionals in a variety of settings, this book aims to make standards of health care practical, attainable and useable. Intended as an audit package that can be adapted as part of a quality assurance programme, it defines over 30 clinical standards - identifying key targets of excellence in clinical care and delineating the resources and clinical practice necessary to achieve excellence. The manual describes the expected outcomes of such quality care from the perspective of both the health care professional and patients and their families. This book is a companion to The Royal Marsden Hospital Manual of Clinical Nursing Procedures, but has a potentially wider readership as the material applies to professionals other than nurses. It is aimed at students and qualified staff of all disciplines.
