Nursing in Prison Paperback / softback
Edited by Joanne Brooke
Paperback / softback
Description
This Textbook addresses a gap in the market, as currently there are no contemporary books exploring nursing within a prison setting.
The main focus is the provision of healthcare in the Prison Service of England and Wales, although examples will also be drawn from the United States of America and Australia.
Healthcare within prison settings has changed remarkably to address the needs of the changing prison populations.
Thus, this text is clearly structured to support student nurses to understand the role of the nurse within prison and how the different specialities of nursing are applied in this unique setting.
This textbook provides an overview of the context of prison, prisoners, and healthcare, as well as the experiences of nurse specialists who work in this field, including adult, mental health, and learning disability nurses across primary care, mental health services, substance misuse and end-of-life care.
This volume is informative for both undergraduate studentnurses and for qualified nurses and dispels many myths regarding working as a nurse in a prison.
Each chapter is written by experts within the field, including nurses who have worked or still working within the prison setting.
An important objective of this work is to inform student nurses of the possibility and opportunity of a nursing career within a prison setting.
