The Royal Marsden Manual of Clinical Nursing Procedures (RMM) and the Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines in Psychiatry are now freely available to all NHS staff in England as e-books, as well as the traditional hard copy manuals from their NHS libraries.

The RMM has been the definitive guide to clinical nursing skills for over three decades. Written by nurses, for nurses, it sets the gold standard for effective, patient-focussed nursing care.
