Emergency care in the streets
An excellent textbook which covers all aspects of 'out of hospital' care, this surely will become the standard textbook for all future paramedic courses being held in the UK

The best book of its kind
I also have to declare an interest - as a chapter sub-author I agreed to take part in the project as I believed it would fill a gap in pre-hospital literature.

The book itself more than exceeded my expectations. It is a comprehensive book which can benefit the reader at all skill levels and in all sectors of pre-hospital care, from newly qualified routine care staff to paramedic practitioners and pre-hospital doctors. Information is clear and well laid out making it interseting and accessible, but carries enough depth to make it a relevant and useful read even for familiar topics. The format will suit a variety of learning styles with summaries, reviews and self-assessment. Despite the improvements and much needed anglicisation, the book still pays respect to Nancy Caroline as a pathfinder in this field of medicine.

Perhaps not the cheapest but it's certainly good value.

Jon - Paramedic ECP
This new, anglo version of the cardinal emergency care text is a must for all paramedics, ECA/Techs and ECPs. The chapters are clearly written, informative and have upto date images and contemporary detail. This is both a fantastic study aid and source of reference material. It is well worth investing in this historically pivital pre-hospital text book. Well done NC.
