Review from previous edition The book is thorough and comprehensive, yet easy to read and well written, illustrated by useful... figures and tables. It contains most of the medical information and knowledge you need for use in a general medical practice, both in day-to-day and emergency contexts. * Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association * This is a nice memory aid for new clinicians as well as a refresher for clinicians who have been in the practice of medicine for a long time. * Doody's Notes * An outstanding and useful text, de rigeur for young registrars. * British Journal of General Practice * The best book by a country mile. I'd definitely recommend it! * medicworld.co.uk * 'This is a book that demands to be used. It is well built for the job... The book is hugely and surprisingly comprehensive, covering vast tracts of areas of knowledge that GPs need to possess. Clinical and non clinical areas are amply covered in really good detail. The style is factual yet helpful and accessible and a simple scan of the relevant section is likely to help a GP manage a situation... For GP trainers like myself, this is an excellent source of tutorial material. The clinical sections are just as good... it is a frontline recipe book for all GPs-busy or not so busy. Without doubt, in my mind this is the best available book for British general practice and it ideal for GP registrars, newly starting GPs, mid career GPs and GPs wanting to freshen up their knowledge... there is little excuse not to buy it.' * Dr Harry Brown * What a treat - 1,100 pages of condensed knowledge and wisdom on everything from the new contract to what to do for obstetric shock... this is an essential - and I mean essential - piece of kit * The Sessional GP * Small yet perfectly formed! This book is small enough to fit into any bag, or a capacious pocket, yet covers almost anything (clinical, practical, administrative) that any doctor or undergraduate working in general practice needs to know...I am extremely pleased to have been able to use and review this book. I have no hesitation in recommending it to its target audience * BMA Medical Book Award Panel 2006 * As a comfort blanket for the less experienced it remains unrivalled, but truly, it is a must-have book for all * British Journal of General Practice * This is an absolute gem of a book. I would not be without it for my general practice training...It is portable, comprehensive and relevant and the logical format covers practice management as well as medical conditions * BMA Medical Book Competition 2010 * It is pitched perfectly for the student studying for undergraduate clinical exams and for the general practice specialist training knowledge test. It would also serve as a helpful aide memoir for doctors dealing with a patient presenting with a problem outside their speciality * British Journal of Hospital Medicine * The idea is brilliant take symptoms, signs, and examination findings, and suggest the most likely diagnosis. Then discuss how best to confirm it...once again OUP have come up trumps with another fine addition to the handbook family * Dr Jeremy Sagar, Univadis * Whether you use its easy layout and concise size as a quick reference on wards or as a key text on those differential diagnosis questions in your private study, this book aims to help you come to terms with one of the hardest skills known to medical students * Steve Knight, Year 4 Intercalating Student, Leicesterscrubs.com * a beneficial addition to any medical ward either at the nurses' station or in the doctors' office...would recommend this book for consultation at ward level. * AS Fitzpatrick, Marchall Riley *
