...covers an amazing breadth of relevant topics..this new edition
retains its brilliant usefullness...covers all spheres of general
practice and is an ideal when a GP is stuck for an answer when the
patient is in front of them or a consultant is imminent... like a
GP, this is a good all rounder, which will solve a significant
majority of problems that is thrown at it. It can occupy a small
bit of real estate on a desk or inside a bag...built to withstand a
fair
amount of use-which this book deserves. I would say it is ideal for
practicing GPS, GP registrars and practice burses and other primary
health care professionals... this is for someone on the
frontline who wants a friend to help them. This book is their
friend.
`Review from previous edition Review from previous edition An
outstanding and useful text, de rigeur for young registrars.'
British Journal of General Practice
`At less than one quarter of the price of a QOF point (£29.95),
this book is excellent value for money and...it should be on the
shelves of every Director of Public Health, or public health
professional working within primary care organisations.'
Public Health
`The best book by a country mile. I'd definitely recommend it!'

This is an excellent summary of general practice. It's easy-to-use,
fits in a bag, and enables a student, new GP or older GP to find
the necessary information to support diagnosis and treatment quite
easily.
`This is a book that demands to be used. It is well built for the
job... The book is hugely and surprisingly comprehensive, covering
vast tracts of areas of knowledge that GPs need to possess.
Clinical and non clinical areas are amply covered in really good
detail. The style is factual yet helpful and accessible and a
simple scan of the relevant section is likely to help a GP manage a
situation... For GP trainers like myself, this is an excellent
source of
tutorial material. The clinical sections are just as good... it is
a frontline recipe book for all GPs-busy or not so busy. Without
doubt, in my mind this is the best available book for British
general
practice and it ideal for GP registrars, newly starting GPs, mid
career GPs and GPs wanting to freshen up their knowledge... there
is little excuse not to buy it.'
Dr Harry Brown
`What a treat - 1,100 pages of condensed knowledge and wisdom on
everything from the new contract to what to do for obstetric
shock... this is an essential - and I mean essential - piece of
kit.'
The Sessional GP
`A comprehensive guide to nearly everything. It is the yellow book
equivalent for general practice. If you only buy one book, make
sure it is this one.'
British Medical Journal
`Small yet perfectly formed! This book is small enough to fit into
any bag, or a capacious pocket, yet covers almost anything
(clinical, practical, administrative) that any doctor or
undergraduate working in general practice needs to know...I am
extremely pleased to have been able to use and review this book. I
have no hesitation in recommending it to its target audience.'
BMA Medical Book Award Panel 2006
`As a comfort blanket for the less experienced it remains
unrivalled, but truly, it is a must-have book for all'
British Journal of General Practice
`This is an absolute gem of a book. I would not be without it for
my general practice training...It is portable, comprehensive and
relevant and the logical format covers practice management as well
as medical conditions.'
