"This is a very accessible book: the style is didactic, all
problems are expressed in a very pragmatic manner [...] all
information sought can be found easily (the index is close to
perfection); [the book] will stay very visible on my desk in the
ward for everyday needs of invaluable information from an
up-to-date and sound source."
Digestive and Liver Disease
"Overall I would strongly recommend this book as a starter text for
senior SHOs and junior registrars. Those more experienced will also
find it a useful revision tool." Dr Kate Evans SpR
Gastroenterology
"This is a fantastic book for newly appointed gastroenterology
registrars/fellows and other professionals with an interest in the
field." TiGs "This is a welcome third edition of a well known book
for a wide audience. Dr Simon Travis has enlisted the help of
gastroenterology experts from a larger field giving the book a more
global appeal." MRCP Gastroenterology Specialist Registrar
On previous editions ...
"The 'Pocket Consultants' are a popular series of books aimed at
doctors in training, both under- and post-graduate. Thus this is
akin to carrying around a consultant-like opinion and font of
knowledge in your pocket, and acting as an aid to making your
opinion comparable to that of a senior colleague. It is also like
having a slice out of one of the bigger textbooks, but being able
to carry it around, and maybe, surreptitiously look up a topic."
Gastroenterology Today
"This little book is valuable support for junior hospital staff and
general practitioners." Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology
