Paediatrics at a Glance Reviews

"An ideal companion for anyone about to start a paediatric attachment or module and will appeal to medical students, junior doctors and GP trainees." (BMA Medical Book Competition - Programme and Award Winners, September 2008) "This book does exactly what its title portrays, in that it gives an overview of paediatrics 'at a glance'. Each chapter gives clear, well-presented, detailed information that reflects current practices and advances in treatments and technology." Paediatric Nursing, December 2007 "This highly readable text is an excellent revision tool for students. unlike other books it manages to give a high level of detail whilst maintaining the 'at a glance' perspective" Medical Student, Oxford Univeristy "The book is easily accessible, covers the UG curriculum well and is useful as both core text and rapid revision aid. Clear diagrams and excellent key point summaries make learning a breeze." Medical Student, University of East Anglia "...This book does exactly what its title portrays...Each chapter gives clear, well-presented, detailed information that reflects current practices and advances in treatments and technology." Paediatric Nursing "Part of the "At a Glance" series, it is a very useful introduction to pediatrics for medical students, residents, general practitioners and pediatric nurses. It covers in 7 sections the major fields of pediatrics, including how to take the history (the doctor looks at the mother and child and not at the computer). Each topic has illustrations (drawings or photos), key points, tables, all very didactic." Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews "Well written at a level suitable for medical students, the book is an excellent companion ... as well as jumping off point for further investigation." Doody's Book Reviews
