  The second edition of Practical Occupational Medicine bridges the gap between day-to-day clinical practice, concerned primarily with diagnosis and treatment of disease, and occupational health practice which is concerned with the prevention of work-related disease and the management of ill health in relation to the workplace. All aspects of the clinicians' role are covered, from occupational history-taking through to rehabilitation and health promotion. Important changes in this new edition include an emphasis on key principles of good practice, enhanced international applicability and enhanced, more structured, presentation of information. In addition to general revision and updates throughout the text, the case histories have been revisited throughout, the section on disability and fitness for work has been thoroughly reworked and a new chapter on the delivery of occupational health care is included.

  This book provides a unique, clinically-based introduction to occupational medicine, a field which is growing rapidly as industry becomes increasingly concerned with work-related problems in employees. This growth is reflected in the numbers of practising physicians taking introductory courses or diplomas in occupational medicine and the spread of occupational medicine as part of undergraduate studies.
  
  
  
  The approach is highly practical, and the concise nature of the text makes it especially suitable for those just entering the field. Numerous case studies illustrate how typical problems present, how work-related issues are identified and how treatment is planned. The principles of disease investigation, management and prevention are outlined along with accident-related problems, rehabilitation, ethical and legal issues. The authors are all practising occupational physicians and lecturers involved in developing courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
