Publisher's Synopsis
The shift handover forms an important part of the communication process that takes place twice within the nurses' working day in the gynaecological ward. This paper addresses the topic of implementing a new system of bedside handover, which puts patients central to the whole process of managing care and also addresses some of the shortcomings of the traditional handover system. This successful change should encourage other nurses to become more proactive in identifying areas for change management in order to improve our health care system. Proceeds from the sale of this book go to the support of an elderly disabled person.
