Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine - 6th Edition
Authors: Murray Longmore, Ian Wilkinson I and Supraj Rajagopalan
This handbook goes from strength to strength as each edition keeps abreast of the breathtaking advances in clinical practice. It is a bold statement to try and cover clinical medicine in a small handbook that can easily fit into a pocket or handbag and is only slightly bigger than my outstretched hand. It comes with the now familiar plastic flexicover which means it can take rough handling. It is ideal for junior hospital doctors, medical students and GPs and is packed with practical, easy to read advice on most areas of clinical medicine.
Now it is a huge topic and a bold task to cover it in such a small portable volume but like the preceding editions, it manages this admirably well. It does say proudly on the front cover, “over a million copies sold worldwide” so it must be doing something right and it is.
It is packed with facts, knowledge and most important of all, it is an intensely practical book. If you are stuck on what to do next in managing a patient, this is the book to look up. With the ease of storage in a white coat pocket, or taking up minimal room on a consultation desk. The style of presentation is list orientated or in note form which means that every word is an important statement. There is no padding here; it is fact, solutions and advice all the way.
All the information is very modern, relevant and presented in a highly readable format. It is ideal for hospital doctors, GPs and their registrars and is superb value for money.
