    Review

    "This is one of those books that aims to be really comprehensive and actually delivers.
    ...excellent reference book for the practice shelf. I would highly recommend it for that purpose." GP, Update, June 2003
    is an excellent, hands-on book which contains loads of practical information and certainly would be of interest to a number of different professionals within the primary care team." Dr Harry Brown (GP), Medix UK, November 2003
