4.0 out of 5 stars a good, clearly written and eay to follow book, 25 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Minor Illness Manual (Hardcover)
this book gives very clear protocols for nurses undertaking the increasingly common role of minor illness clinics within General Practice. The protocols and recommended medical treatment may not be the same as may be recommended by some doctors but it gives a good basis from which to work, to evolve protocols for such clinics. Differential diagnoses are explored which may alert the nurse to a potentially less minor condition. This book is a must for nurses in this role.
