  A sound introductory text covering the breadth of the subject and major concepts to child health in the community. The second edition has been comprehensively revised to reflect the substantial changes in the organisation of health, social and educational services, together with advances in practice and new legislation. Contributions have expanded to reflect the way in which services have developed, not just in Child Health, but also in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Clinical Genetics and Mental Handicap. The text has been produced as a source book for the MSc course in Community Paediatrics. Includes excellent references and guides to further reading which provides a good introduction to expanding literature. There is a new format with a larger page size and second colour introduced to allow careful integration of text and illustrations. This is a source text for candidates preparing for the Diploma of Child Health, Diploma of Community Child Health, Paediatric and general practice Membership and MSc in Child Health.
