  This practical handbook of medical practice has been updated and revised to take into account the modern developments in clinical medicine. It has new chapters on oncology and radiology. The main focus is on clinical management, although disease background is also given. The redesigned text makes this pocket book easier than ever to use, not only for reliable reference under pressure - on the ward, in the clinic and in the lecture theatre, but also for assimilating its detailed information on general medical problems, surgery and emergencies. Opposite each page of text is a blank page to accommodate the reader's notes and amendments, and to attach update boxes published regularly in the British Medical Journal , all of which are thus in exactly the right place and automatically indexed. Further updating services are also available by fax and electronic mail. J.M. Longmore is the co-author of Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialties 3rd edition (with J.A.B. Collier and J.H. Harvey), and co-editor of Geriatric Problems in General Practice 2nd edition (with G.K. Wilcock and J.A.M. Gray.

  This updated edition of the clinical handbook incorporates two new sections on clinical signs and symptoms and geriatric medicine. The text offers solutions to practical problems that may be encountered on the wards and gives a concise account of modern medicine and surgery. The practical nature of the book has been considered in its design, which places each topic on a separate page for quick reference. Opposite each page of text there is a blank page for the reader's own notes and updatings. The book is pocket-size and bound with a tough plastic cover. This text is intended primarily for junior doctors, particularly those taking up their responsibilities on the wards for the first time.
