Description

As Australia and New Zealand’s pre-eminent textbook on the subject, Understanding Pathophysiology has supported thousands of nursing students to understand the basis of disease and how this applies to clinical practice. Pathophysiology refers to the study of disease processes, and builds on students’ understanding of anatomy and physiology. This textbook makes complex subject matter easy to learn, recall and apply to clinical practice.

Editors Dr Judy Craft and Dr Christopher Gordon are senior academics with extensive teaching experience in educating nurses. They have structured and written the book in way that makes it easy to follow and prepares students with a comprehensive understanding of pathophysiology for clinical practice.

    Exactly as described - good quality, genuine Littman rubbers delivered quickly.
    Some initial issues with PayPal were also quickly sorted and at no financial cost to myself. A trusted source for medical equipment.

    Considering various Leatherman tools, the Leatherman Arc is one option, but the Wave Plus offers a convenient size for pocket carry while still providing a comprehensive set of desired tools.

    Great little resource book

    Full of great info to help you remember all the acronyms (IMIST AMBO, METHANE, AMPLE, etc) plus good prompts for patient questioning, reading ECG's, and medical terminology. Well worth it.

    Perfect 21st gift

    We purchased the Leatherman Raptor Shears as a 21st gift for a paramedic student. It came highly recommended by a fellow medic and was very well received by the recipient. It’s a lifelong gift. 😀

    Nebo DaVinci - a great torch

    I am impressed by the quality and capability of this torch. The combination of water-tightness and zoom lamp is usually not very successful, but in this case it works. The size and brightness is just right for camping: not to big, not too bright. I also like the twist adjust for the brightness as I don't have to continually cycle through the various modes like other torches.
    Price from the Paramedic Shop was good, and delivery was timely.

    Amazing bit of information.

    I am a volunteer in Western Australia and wanting to become a paramedic.
    I wanted to know how the ECG's read and knowing what it looks like and honestly I have some knowledge in how. to read it.

    Thank you

    Great

    Fast shipping super happy with my purchase will by through this company again

    Great product arrived in good tome

    Amazing and quality friendly service thank you!!! Informative book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Brilliant

    Fabulous torch - light, easy to hold and absolutely brilliant light. The battery lasts for ages as well. Recommend highly

    New you bueat tool

    This new suction unit is the best piece of equipment we have ever purchased for our son who cannot dispose of his phlegm he coughs up. This unit is compact enough so we can place it on the back of his wheelchair and take it out and about for when he needs to use the unit.
