  Concise Paediatrics, Second Edition is essential reading for all postgraduates training in paediatrics, particularly when preparing for the MRCPCH exam, and for general practice trainees preparing for the DCH exam. As a comprehensive but concise reference to any condition they are likely to encounter on the wards or in the accident and emergency room, it will also be invaluable to doctors in other medical specialties who come into contact with children on a regular basis.

  The book is designed to provide readers with a full understanding of all of the areas covered by the MRCPCH. It is structured logically by body system, with additional chapters on such topics as genetics, infectious disease, neonatology and emergencies.
  
  Edited by two highly experienced paediatricians-their knowledge complemented by a group of specialist contributors-it is written in a succinct, user-friendly style and includes lists, boxes and annotated diagrams to aid learning and retention of the facts.
  
  Since the first edition was published in 2000, Concise Paediatrics has established itself as the textbook of choice for MRCPCH candidates, and will remain a must-have with this revised and updated second edition.

  A concise but comprehensive textbook aimed at candidates for the new MRCPCH examination, which will also be extremely useful for general practitioners sitting the Diploma of Child Health examination. It is structured logically by body system (with additional chapters on such topics as genetics, immunology, haematology, metabolic diseases and paediatric surgical emergencies), and will provide both trainees and junior qualified staff with a full understanding of all of the areas covered by the MRCPCH. Whilst written by a single author for consistency of style and readability, it features contributions by a number of paediatric sub-specialists, for example from the renowned Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. As such, it contains up-to-date, clinically relevant data from very recent scientific studies in such fast-moving topics as medical genetics and immunology. The book is fully illustrated in black and white throughout with specially-generated artwork and makes much use of tables and algorithms to summarise and simplify complex processes.
