Foreword
I was both delighted and honoured when asked by Carl and Jill to write the
foreword to this excellent nursing book. Having worked with them in varying
capacities over the past six years, I have long appreciated their knowledge,
understanding and expertise within this specialist field of patient care. When any
author sets out to write, the most important tool for the task is credibility. It is
upon this foundation that the book is written, with both authors having shaped
nursing practice for many years through their teaching and encouragement of
post registration nurses who accessed ENB 249 and 254 courses. Both authors
remain firmly in touch with the contemporary issues that influence nursing
within a modern NHS, and are respected for their ongoing support of the clinical
team. A vital contribution of health care educators and their ability to help shape
patient carein the twenty-first century.
The book itself is written with this in mind. It is not a reflective dialogue of the
many changes and challenges that the nursing profession have had to meet head
on over the past two decades. It is more a recognition of where the profession and
cardiothoracic surgical nursing are at, and how they need to continue to develop.
It reflects current socio-political and professional thinking, in mapping the patient
journey from early symptoms, hospitalisation through to returning home. It
successfully enables the reader to appreciate the size of the challenge from an
epidemiological perspective; deepens their understanding of physiological and
pathophysiological principles; maps the patient journey in the peri-operative
period, through the experience of surgery to post-operative recovery and reha-
bilitation. This book is not a snapshot of cardiothoracicsurgical patient care, but
more a considered and reflective account that is based on understanding and
intuition of how nurses can meet the challenges of patients and their families'
needs.
It is written with the post-registration student in mind, supporting many of the
vii
excellent undergraduate specialist cardiothoracic pathways that shape both
thinking and practice. To this end it will be an invaluable test, giving wide
coverage of the essential areas of knowledge and expertise that the cardiothoracic
surgical nurse needs to develop. It reflects the authors' passion for the subject,
their compassion for the patient and their commitment to the profession. Enjoy
the journey.
