Product Description

"The best book by a country mile. I'd definitely recommend it!"

Review
At less than on 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! (medicworld.co.uk )

This is a book that demands to be used. It is well build 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, his is an excellent source of tutorial material. The clinical sections are just 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 )

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent - bible!!!, 23 Sep 2005
By Penny Harvey "penhar" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
If you are working in general practice or district nursing or as a modern matron/case manager in long term conditions this is a superb text, easy to dip in and out of (though it would be nice if it had bigger print - for old 'uns like me anyway).

Useful web sites, lots of stuff to jog old memories, fits in bag or pocket all in all wouldn't be without it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference manual, 20 Dec 2007
By John David - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is extremely useful as a reference manual even if you are not in general practice. I certainly use it everyday for quick reference when I see patients in clinics.

The only issue is that the proof-reading was a little slack and there are small inconsistencies, spelling mistakes and, in one particular table, boxes that were left blank when they should have been filled.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete Coverage, 26 Aug 2002
By Mr M Butler (Bradford, UK) - See all my reviews
Never before has there been written a more complete general practice text. This book covers all the syllabus of a general practioners in a way which is both easy to understand and memorise.
This really is a must for all prospective medical students with an eye on a GP post.
