Review
Even after 20 years in print, the Handbook of Clinical Medicine ~remains unchallenged as a first point of reference for medical students and junior doctors, and the Mini Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine is one step better. Cambridge Medicine ... Apart from the clinical information, it offers intriguing insights into how medics think. Some might argue that it worth buying for that alone. Nursing Standard

Excellent Book for Students Nurses
This book is perfect for student nurses. It contains every known illness etc, so if you come across a patient who is suffereing with something you have not heard of, or have a lack of knowledge in, you can keep this small book in your locker/bag, and it can be easily used to gain extremly valuable information at your finger tips.
This book is the newest edition, and it very easy to navigate around.
Really good purchase.

All the content, but this one fits in your pocket!
This book is great! It has ALL the content of the OHCM, but it fits in my back pocket! In my other pocket is the Pocket Prescriber bookPocket Prescriber 2007-8 (Hodder Arnold Publication).

I'm in my 5th year at HYMS, where we are classed as practise-FY1s and these two books are all I need on the wards... and they both fit into my pockets... leaving my hands free for everything else (pen, spare pen, steth, pen torch, notes, drugs chart, order forms etc etc)!

My eyesight is 20/20 and I have no problems reading it.

One of your best friends on the ward
I'm a pharmacist who has been bringing the handbook onto the wards with me and this book has made doing drug histories and analysing patients notes so much easier. Its small size fits perfectly into your pockets but it hasn't lost any of its content. It contains so much in depth information which can provide guidance and information about a giant range of illness and disease. A great buy!!
