Nursing is a growing area of higher education, in which an introduction to statistics is an essential component. There is currently a gap in the market for a ′user–friendly′ book which is contextulised and targeted for nursing.

It also provides sufficient advice in areas such as clinical trials and epidemiology to enable the reader to critically appraise work published in journals such as the Lancet and British Medical Journal.
