"I am delighted to say that this book just gets better and better and this current edition is simply superb.It acts as a brilliant and practical reference source whilst allowing the reader to dip in and out of the book for specific topics. It is well written and acts like a textbook but the information it delivers is more practical and supportive for a front-line clinician.Once read, the reader is highly informed on a current topic and can convey this information to a patient.It is excellent value for money." -- Dr Harry Brown, Pavilion Health Today"An absolute classic for anyone studying medicine or working in medical profession. Small and easy to carry around, a great quick reference guide if you need it. The book is highly organised and compact making it easy to find information and is written in a way that summaries the key information without too much loss of detail.

All the Oxford handbooks are great, but this one in particular is fantastic." -- Amzon Review"A very good source for a quick look in action when you don't have time to sit down and properly read about a topic. A very good companion for beginners in medicine and acute medicine." -- Amzon Review"Knowledge is power, and true clinical competence starts with mastering the fundamentals. While advanced clinical decision-making also relies on hands-on practice, insights from independent guidelines, and a humble approach to both learning and patient care, this pocket reference guide serves as a strong foundation for those at the beginning or mid-point of their training. I hold this book in very high esteem indeed." -- Amzon Review.
