Sustainable Nursing

  • English
Climate change is the single most devastating crisis affecting humanity. Health systems across the globe produce vast quantities of waste, adhering to wasteful practices that could easily, with the will and motivation, be modified to make a real difference in the move to sustainable practice. There are approximately 28 million nurses and midwives internationally, impacting all of our populations' lives from cradle to grave. As such, nurses and midwives have a unique opportunity to influence our population to limit the impact of climate change and alter the trajectory of our planet. This unique and first book in this area will equip nurses and midwives to understand the public health impact of climate change and provide them with the tools to actively lead change across our health systems. Editors Lucy Brown and Dr Emma Pascale- Blakey are leaders in the emerging field of clinical sustainability. As well as being clinicians themselves, they have direct experience of designing, developing and implementing change across systems and health care settings. For this exciting new title, they have called on their wide and international network to contribute a range of contributions that cover all aspects of sustainable nursing.

Anti-racism for Nursing Praxis

  • 1st Edition
  • June 1, 2026
  • Calvin Moorley
  • English
Racism exists in nursing. This landmark textbook brings together international authors to examine its causes, manifestations and prevalence, before setting out a plan for a reformed future for the profession in which discrimination is a thing of the past and a culture of equality prevails. Part 1 focuses on knowledge and understanding of racism. It introduces individual and structural level theories of racism. Part 2 presents the lived experiences of racism and how it is played out in the everyday work-life of nurses and those nursing serve. It looks at personal narratives, cultural perspectives, explores advocacy and healing and intersectionality. Many international examples are drawn on in this section. Part 3 brings together the understanding, knowledge and lived experiences and how these are actioned and operationalised into anti racism strategies, frameworks, toolkits, policies and practices. Anti-racism for Nursing Practice adopts an easy-to-read style without recourse to jargon. It uses case studies that are anchored in lived experiences. Reader-friendly features include SMART boxes for learning points and reflective discussion. The book is designed to be interactive and foster individual and group learning. The full-colour text employs infographics throughout, with use of colour to aid understanding. The text is written with the needs of neurodiverse readers in mind. The team of contributors assembled by the editors is drawn from organisations such as the Nursing and Midwifery regulators, students, diaspora nursing groups, executive nurses, frontline clinicians, academics, researchers and regulatory bodies. The authorship is made up of an international group of nurses. Editors Calvin Moorley and Ruth Oshikanlu are experts in diversity and advancing racial, gender and health equity and promoting social justice. The editors have themselves personally supported nurses, midwives and students who have experienced racism in nursing and midwifery, as well as working with nurses and nurse educators, academics, researchers and leaders across the globe. Anti-racism for Nursing Practice is a truly indispensable book for all nurses, students, leaders and healthcare professionals who wish for guidance on best practice to develop and implement anti-racist strategies and policies.

LGBTQ+ Health

  • 1st Edition
  • June 1, 2026
  • English
LGBTQ+ healthcare needs are less likely to be met in comparison to the non LGBTQ+ population, not least because LGBTQ+ populations are more likely to present with complex or advanced health needs because of an increased risk of substance use, homelessness, advanced cancer diagnoses, mental health problems and cardiac disease. Reduced access to cancer screening - due to trans and non-binary identities - a mistrust of services and social factors such as family breakdowns leading to homelessness all play their part in this situation. As the LGBTQ+ community continues to increase in number, nurses (and indeed all healthcare providers) need to be skilled in offering a compassionate and inclusive service to this growing proportion of society. Surveys indicate that many LGBTQ+ people are unhappy with the care they receive and that those negative experiences then deter them from seeking healthcare in the future. LGBTQ+ Health fills a gap in the literature for resources on this topic that are aimed at nurses, and which will also be useful to allied health professionals more generally. Students of nursing and practitioners will find it an invaluable, evidence-based guide to the subject that offers many lived experiences and expert interviews to lend additional context and help unite theory and practice.
