Paediatrics: A Clinical Handbook

Description

Paediatrics: a clinical handbook provides all the essential information required for a successful paediatrics rotation. Written by two recently qualified junior doctors and a consultant paediatrician, the book offers an exam-centred, reader-friendly style backed up with concise clinical guidance. Building on the success of the other ‘Clinical Handbook’ titles (Rheumatology and Psychiatry), Paediatrics: a clinical handbook provides reader-friendly coverage of the subject in an attractive full-colour design. To help the reader get to grips with the subject quickly and easily, the book features a wide variety of learning aids including mnemonics, numerous clinical photos, OSCE tips, red flag boxes and rapid diagnosis boxes. Paediatrics: a clinical handbook is ideal for medical students and junior doctors; like the other books in the series it will also appeal to medics who want a quick refresher of the subject.

Many thanks!" Amazon reviewer Superb resource! "An excellent handbook, perfect for medical students or junior paediatric trainees, with colourful and clear clinical summaries. Of particular note were sections on neonatal jaundice, visual representation of immunsation schedules, and the heart defects - often challenging to learn - beautifully simplified! Layout is well ordered, print quality perfect, and content beautifully surmised with clear and colourful tables and illustrations. The whole series are exceptional resources (particularly psychiatry and rheumatology clinical handbooks!) - highly recommended." Amazon reviewer A great revision book "This is another great book from Scion! The structure is quite similar to the Psychiatry handbook. It is definitely a good revision tool to flick through near exam time! I love the layout of the book with clinical boxes and OSCE tips!" Amazon reviewer
