Summary:
The 100 Cases series provides a novel learning and revision tool that works by guiding the reader through each clinical case in a highly structured manner. Each scenario provides details of the patient's medical history and the key findings of a clinical examination, together with initial investigation results data for evaluation. Key questions then prompt the reader to evaluate the patient, and reach a decision regarding their condition and the possible treatment plan, while the answer pages reveal the processes a clinician goes through in such situations.

The volumes are designed with the student in mind, and include features to aid self-directed learning, clinical reasoning and problem-solving.

100 Cases in Paediatrics covers the following subject areas:
Respiratory, Cardiology, Endocrinology and diabetes, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, Infections, Dermatology, Haematology, Oncology, Bones and joints, Neurology, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Neonatology, Miscellaneous

Reviews:

"They [the cases] are easy to read, well constructed and provide excellent learning points along the way"
"In my opinion any senior house officer reading this book in preparation for their first shift in general paediatrics is unlikely to find anything shocking in accident and emergency medicine"
"It is a very good textbook of clinical cases which would provide excellent learning and revision material"
