Packed full of facts, this volume contains more information than the student needs for his/her finals and almost as much as the candidate requires for his/her Membership or the Diploma in Geriatric Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians of London.

Review

"This book is a perfect accompaniment to those "problems of old age" modules that there is never enough time for. The lecture notes series are always good and this is no exception. Straight and to the point without all the waffle."

Sphincter, Liverpool Medical Students′ Gazette

"Lecture Notes on Geriatrics remains the number one choice for undergraduates and newly qualified doctors alike. The fact that it is in it′s fourth edition showing how well it has stood the test of time. The new edition, much revised and updated, has succinct chapters giving good practical advice on treatment and managment, with highlighted lists of important points". BMJ best books in geriatrics on the previous edition.

From the Back Cover

As the proportion of the population over the age of 65 continues to grow, so does the popularity of this little book. The British Medical Journal ranked the last edition as the number one book for undergraduates and junior trainees in geriatrics.

This new edition, much revised and updated, has succinct chapters giving good pratical advice on treatment and management, with highlighted lists of important points. The authors regularly teach undergraduates and postgraduates and are experienced in examinations at both the MB and Diploma in Geriatric Medicine level. Despite the rapid growth of research into the diseases of old age, the authors have ensured that their book remains a concise yet remarkably comprehansive guide for candidates in both these examinations. In addition, nursing and allied health professionals who work with the elderly will find this book a fount of useful information.
