Description

From the
Foreword by Candy Cooley:

“What a delight it is … to read a
book which takes complex scientific concepts and ensures they are
understandable by all.”

With activities and answers, reflection
points and a glossary, this interactive textbook supports the ‘Fit for Practice
in the Genetics Era’ competence framework, offering an introduction to the
theory of genetics and then using common genetic conditions/disorders as case
studies to help students apply theory to practice and examine the service user
experience.

Genetics is written by an experienced
teacher of health care sciences and is ideal for students of nursing, health
care and for a wide range of health care practitioners.
