Editorial Reviews
Review
‘This textbook…is both a comprehensive introduction to intravenous nutrition (IVN) and a useful reference text. The writing style is easy to read and information is provided at an accessible level for those new to the subject. This textbook covers all the areas that prescribers of parenteral nutrition should be aware of. It has relevance to all members of the healthcare team.’ Rebecca White, chairman of the British Pharmaceutical Nutrition Group. The Pharmaceutical Journal (Vol. 280) 1 March 2008
