This essential guide empowers professionals to navigate difficult conversations with clarity, empathy, and courage. Drawing on real-world scenarios, evidence-based frameworks, and reflective practice, it offers practical tools for addressing emotional distress, advocating for patients, challenging unsafe practices, and fostering inclusive team cultures.

Whether you're newly qualified or a seasoned practitioner, this book will help you build confidence, protect well being, and lead with integrity-because when nurses speak up, care improves.
