  As the workload in general practice increases, many practices are expanding the role of the practice nurse, to include the management of minor illnesses: the extras or emergencies who request same-day appointments. This volume aims to demonstrate that a nurse-run emergency clinic is safe, liked by patients, and effective at reducing doctors' stress and locum costs. It offers a concise guide to each condition, with tables, charts and drug information.
