Editorial Reviews

Review
An outstanding and useful text, de rigeur for young registrars. British Journal of General Practice A very useful rapid reference tool. Update A truly outstanding book... a breathtaking tour of general practice is provided... Despite the book's portability it will provide the average GP and GP registrar with fantastic and up to date advice on how to manage most standard front line clinical problems... the price is very competitive making it outstanding value for money. I suspect this will become a standard text for GP registrars and very popular amongst practising GPs. For a first edition, this is an outstanding offering and I am sure that there will be a long line of future edition. Dr Harry Brown

Customer Reviews

excellent - bible!!!5
If you are working in general practice or district nursing or as a modern matron/case manager in long term conditions this is a superb text, easy to dip in and out of (though it would be nice if it had bigger print - for old 'uns like me anyway).

Useful web sites, lots of stuff to jog old memories, fits in bag or pocket all in all wouldn't be without it.

Good reference manual4
This book is extremely useful as a reference manual even if you are not in general practice. I certainly use it everyday for quick reference when I see patients in clinics.

The only issue is that the proof-reading was a little slack and there are small inconsistencies, spelling mistakes and, in one particular table, boxes that were left blank when they should have been filled.

Complete Coverage5
Never before has there been written a more complete general practice text. This book covers all the syllabus of a general practioners in a way which is both easy to understand and memorise.
This really is a must for all prospective medical students with an eye on a GP post.
