Helen Donnellan and Gordon JackJessica Kingsley PublishersISBN 978184310989118.99224 pages

This book is a breath of fresh air. It takes the reader through the journey of the initial (and often most challenging) part of their career in a light-hearted and informative way. It describes itself as taking the reader from the "initial thud of professional status as you hit the ground and keep running, warming to the task, jumping the hurdles and making your way safely to the finishing line... prepared for the next lap".

The guide is comprehensive and includes induction processes, roles and tasks, and managing work-life balance. It continues by looking at ways of managing stress and finding sources of support. It concludes with further understanding of the management of more complex cases, and continuing professional development.
