This book by Kathryn Mannix shares her healthcare experience in palliative medicine of how to handle conversations tenderly.

This easy-to-read guide to unchaining your brain is short, concise and practices what it preaches. The book’s primary theme is simply focusing on one thing at a time, and as its theme, it’s a short, sharp and effortless read.

This excellent book by Gill Kernick shines a light on all those undercurrents and how, as you read this, they may even be undermining your safety management system.
