Clinical procedures are an essential component of nursing practice. For the first time, key nursing procedures from the sixth edition of The Royal Marsden Hospital Manual of Clinical Nursing Procedures are brought together in an easy-to-use laminate card format to support the teaching of clinical nursing procedures in a variety of settings. Each procedure guideline card is A4, laminated, hole punched and presented in an A4 ringbinder to enhance accessibility, portability and durability. Divided into two sections, the first section groups together fundamental nursing skills while the second section builds on the skills developed in the first section and introduces more advanced procedures. Each section has been colour coded and number tabbed for ease of use and filing. In general, one procedure or related procedures are featured on an individual card. Over 70 core nursing procedure guidelines are included. These cards can be easily integrated into any education programme and can be used in the skills laboratory, in clinical practice or in the classroom.

The new edition of The Royal Marsden Hospital Manual of Clinical Nursing Procedures, sixth edition, meets the high standards set by the previous editions in providing the essential reference material needed to develop the knowledge and understanding to carry out procedures competently.

These procedure guideline cards have been selected from the Manual as a companion learning resource, providing a clear step-by-step guide to fundamental clinical procedures. They are not intended to be used in isolation or replace The Royal Marsden Hospital Manual of Clinical Nursing Procedures.

All information has been thoroughly revised based on an appraisal of current research and feedback from clinical experts. The procedures have been updated accordingly to ensure that current practice is reflected and nurses are enabled to deliver clinically effective care.

The Royal Marsden Hospital Manual of Clinical Nursing Procedures is the book of choice for nurses at all stages of their careers, giving them the confidence they need to be safe, informed and skilled practitioners.
