Written by a team representing the majority of UK medical schools, each chapter has been written by a specialist in the area and vetted by both team members and external advisors. The book should be useful to undergraduate medical students in their clinical years (usually years three to five); junior doctors (pre-registration house officers, post-registration house officers, senior house officers); general practitioners; and trainee nurses and allied helath specialists.

  The Textbook of Medicine provides a comprehensive account of clinical medicine incorporating the language and ideas of modern medical science. The book discusses clinical medicine in the context of the growth in our understanding of the mechanisms of disease. The book is pitched at the level of the junior doctor in training while at the same time it will appeal to all medical students who desire more than a fairly synoptic account of clinical medicine as found in books like Kumar: Clinical Medicine and Davidson's Principles Practice of Medicine . The necessity to keep fully up-to-date applies to trainee and practising physicians who are all required to maintain a satisfactory knowledge of all areas of general medicine. This book provides the level of information that this market requires. The website (new for this edition) includes additional materials - MCQs, illustrations and case studies - that are not in the book.
