The contents includes cardiopulmonary resuscitation, major trauma, minor trauma, fractures and other orthopaedic problems, burns, scalds and poisoning.

The diagnosis and management of ENT, respiratory, neurological, haematological and dermatological problems are outlined, and there are special sections on practical procedures and on children brought in dead. The book concludes with a section on the legal aspects of dealing with children in hospital. Emphasis has been placed on the emergency management of serious illness and injury and on the management of common problems. In many instances, further management is described both for readers studying for the Accident and Emergency Fellowship examination and also in case specialist help is otherwise occupied. The book seeks to serve as a practical reference to all junior doctors and nurses working in an A&E department.
