Reviews

The book delivers a good balance of science and clinical guidance, which often favours a back to basics approach interspersed with golden nuggets of information of value to even the most senior clinicians.

The editors - Drs. Nick Maskell and Ann Millar - have done a very remarkable job of gathering so much information from the 140 contributors and woven it so well together with all the graphic aids. You will benefit immensely by using it.
