Synopsis

This updated reference book is aimed to help the general practitioner with the real problems of child-doctoring in a general practice setting, recommending practical approaches and attempting to give a balanced view of primary care. The authors have concentrated on problems that are either common or, if rare, are life-threatening and therefore must be frequently thought of when the doctor sees a sick child. The prevention of ill health, psychosocial problems, asthma and common infectious diseases figure prominently. For this second edition, the text has been considerably re-written and expanded to take into account the changes in paediatric practice and teenage problems that have occurred in the past five years. New topics include the teenage mother, sexual abuse, aftercare of low birth weight babies, the role of allergy in disease, and recent advances in prenatal diagnostic techniques.

About this title

Review

this book is likely to remain a standard text for general practitioners at all levels of experience ... The text ... itself remains one of the best in existence for general practitioners to consult. ( Peter Williams, Family Practice, 1996)

The subject matter is definitely primary care orientated and the depth of coverage is just right for the average general practitioner ... this book would make an ideal addition to the practice library ... It is also invaluble to the GP registrar who has not done a paediatric job. Even those with paediatric experience will find the primary care angle useful ... this is one of the best Paediatric textbooks for primary care which I have come across and as such would recommend this. ( Dr Harry Brown, April 1997, docnet, iBS partnership)
