Reviews:

The book is easy to read, set out with appropriate illustrations, photographs, tables, each chapters highlights key points for clinical practice which provide a clear summary of the remaining text. This book will be very useful to all paediatricians training for their membership exams and for specialist registrars and consultants to help them keep up to date…the book is reasonably priced and will be a useful addition to all paediatric departments.
Postgraduate Medical Journal

The scope of the articles is impressively broadminded, encompassing not only clinical conditions but also social and educational aspects of a paediatricians’ work…for a busy paediatrician who finds they have little time for updating their knowledge, this book provides an excellent starting point.
