Product Description

This book is the leading guide to clinical management in primary care. It takes the form of a manual that can be used by the GP during consultation, but its recommendations are backed by the latest research evidence, so that it also serves as a GP's way into the general practice literature. Unlike other evidence-based guidance that is available either online or in paper format, it has an underlying structure which allows the GP to see immediately what treatment is recommended and why. Furthermore, those recommendations are concrete and specific, rather than a list of possibilities that the GP might wish to consider. The 5th edition has not only updated the material in the previous edition but now includes a website - Practicalgeneralpractice.co.uk - which contains the complete manual in interactive format, and links to the primary care literature and other Elsevier products.

Customer Reviews

evidence-based rather than opinionated yet utterly practical4
A must-have for Registrars and new principals in General Medical Practice, this book deserves a much wider readership. It challenges established practice with impunity, citing references where necessary. It makes no apology for including both the management of acute medical emergencies and the appropriate use of the humble Form Med 3. An eclectic tour of modern General Practice, warts and all.

a must buy4
Extremely useful especially for registrars and new GPs. Wont help you out with small print but tells you all you need to know about most clinical aspects of general practice. It comes with a CD holding all the books information on WAX format which is fantastic to say the least. You can either find info by index or a superb search engine. HIGHLY recommended.

A must for all GP registrars5
Fantastic. Evidence based, up-to-date, and with the CD-ROM is usable whilst consulting. Definitely worth the money.
