{"product_id":"critical-care-outreach-isbn-9780470025840","title":"Critical Care Outreach","description":"Following the publication of the department of health document - Comprehensive Critical Care (2000), the majority of hospitals in England have set up Critical Care Outreach Teams. The Government provided a significant sum of money for hospitals to set up outreach services. There are now calls for an evaluation of their impact. The book is set out in five key sections. Each section features chapters that address the conceptual and real life issues. In each section there is a chapter, set out as a case study example, demonstrating how innovative practices and service developments are going on around critical care outreach. The book will draw upon the knowledge, experience and clinical expertise of senior critical care nurses and doctors from a critical care network. The book will have a definite practical application and will provide tips to enhance practice. \u003cbr\u003e * Chapters contain useful 'how to' guides, prompts for critical thinking and case studies.\u003cbr\u003e * Very little has previously been published on this topic  \u003cb\u003eList of Contributors.\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: The Evolution of Critical Care Outreach.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
