    Firstly, thank you for writing the series of books. For those of us just starting off in our journey, still patiently waiting for a place at uni they're fantastic.

    Will be back shortly with questions...

    I love these books, they're easy to read and great as a starting point in midwifery education or to use a refresher. I also love that they're small and compact, therefore easy to pop into your bag to take along to placement.

    Just a simple question from me - what inspired you to write the series?

    I'm an avid reader of the series too! They're a great size to carry about with you and I often read them on the tram on the way to university or placement :)

    No question at the moment, but just wanted to thank you for writing such useful books!

    Your books are amazing for me as a first year to read before going on placements - on the train etc and fit so easily in my bag.

    My question is have you thought of instead of just having the one set of books, having a set for each year of the direct entry degree and maybe one for 18 monthers?

    My books are amazing but not sure how much I'd use them in year 2 or 3. And a 18month set would be pretty amazing to show which skills are new or which nursing skills are done slightly differently, or not at all and in what areas they'd do stuff etc
