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)

This review is from: Oxford Handbook of General Practice (Oxford Handbooks) (Paperback)

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 review is from: Oxford Handbook of General Practice (Oxford Handbooks Series) (Paperback)

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.

By	Mr M Butler (Bradford, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Oxford Handbook of General Practice (Oxford Handbooks) (Paperback)

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.
