Churchill Livingstone Mini Encyclopaedia of Nursing
Chris Brooker, BSc, MSc, RGN, SCM, RNT, Author and Lecturer, Norfolk, UK.
The book will include terms that are the concern of all nurses and terms that are relevant to specific areas of practice. The focused nursing information will be supplemented by the inclusion of some applied anatomy & physiology, important items from the medical and surgical specialties, and some basic psychology and sociology.
The book will include many in-depth entries that explore issues rather than just provide a basic definition. There will of course be a proportion of shorter definitions. The intentions are to use references in the in-depth entries and provide readers with other sources of information on the topic. Because the book will not attempt to cover other related areas the opportunity exists to provide comprehensive evidence-based information about important nursing issues.
The style will, to some extent, be dictated by having an A-Z format but the intention is to highlight material in some of the in-depth entries. This will be achieved with separate Practice application boxed items adjacent to the entry.

Perfect Medical Presentations
Creating Effective PowerPoint Presentations for the Healthcare Professional.
Terry Irwin , Director Of Gastrointestinal and Endocrine Medicine and Surgery, Consultant Surgeon, Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast, UK.
Julie Terberg , Owner and Principal, Terberg Design, Livonia, Michigan, USA.
Perfect Medical Presentations covers PowerPoint in medicine from beginner to expert...and more! This book explains the basics of digital images, with particular emphasis on medical images. The chapters take the reader step by step from absolute beginner to advanced techniques for preparation of complex presentations, including the use of video and the preparation of interactive PowerPoint quizzes.
Tied in with this, the reader learns how to prepare images in Photoshop Elements (a trial version of which is on the accompanying CD), to scan images and X-rays, to download images from the web and to get images directly from modern digital radiology equipment.
After reading this book, there can be no excuse for bloated or boring PowerPoint presentations! The accompanying CD even includes 20 free purpose designed PowerPoint templates.
This book provides simple, tutorial based teaching in the use of digital imaging in medicine, dentistry and nursing. By the time readers have completed the exercises in the book, they will be able to confidently manipulate digital images, understand file types, enhance images, correct flaws such as removal of dust and scratch marks, archive images without loss of quality and insert images or video into a PowerPoint presentation. In addition they will be able to design their own PowerPoint templates and posters, specific for their institution.
To complement the tutorial based teaching in the use of PowerPoint, the book addresses how to plan and deliver a presentation, and the legal and ethical issues surrounding digital photography in healthcare.
Medical students, doctors in training, nurses, dentists, paramedics, professions allied to medicine and healthcare educators, whether beginners or experienced presenters wanting to learn more, will all find this an essential resource.

Pocket Medical Terminology
Andrew Hutton , Lecturer in Life Sciences, Edinburgh's Telford College, Edinburgh, UK.
This will be like a dictionary but with medical terms arranged according to body systems and medical topics. These could be arranged around the chapters of the main text of Hutton, but with more entries. Each section will have quick reference boxes so it will be possible to look up a medical term from its common name and vice versa. The sections should be coded with the page number at the side for speed of location.
