Written with my students and colleagues in mind:

As lecturers, finding time to focus on the academic writing process can be challenging. I hope this guide not only supports my colleagues in this endeavour, but also helps students build confidence and develop strong writing skills.

2025: ‘How To Write Brilliantly for Nursing and Health & Social Care students  by SAGE Press available is: HERE. 

As a Nursing or Health and Care student, academic writing is a key component of assessment. However, in my experience, many students find it challenging to approach and structure their assignments effectively. How to Write Brilliantly is designed to support students in the School of Education, Sport & Health Sciences. This concise, practical guide simplifies the academic writing process, helping students build confidence, write critically and engagingly and develop their own academic voice.

​

Whether students are starting a course, returning to study or looking to improve their style, they will be reminded of how to:

Get in the mindset for independent study and reflection.

Source and evaluate literature and evidence

Develop your critical writing skills

Structure your work.

With ideas, top tips, clear examples compiled by the author, frameworks and resources, this is the book you need.

There are five distinct aims of the book:

To simplify the academic writing process; bringing together the right ingredients to empower you to grow in confidence, to think and write critically in an engaging way with flow and cohesion.

To demystify the academic process in a clear and focused style.

To provide clarity on the requirements of academic writing for undergraduate and post graduate nursing and health and social care students.

To enable you to review your current approaches to academic writing and to apply several key strategies that aim to enhance your academic writing style.
