Oxford Handbook of General Practice (Oxford Handbooks)

"I have found this book to be an extremely useful guide for a rapid and comprehensive review of clinical presentations often encountered in general practice.I believe it is also a very useful aid to help one prepare for the MRCGP examination.Highly recommended."

"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. "

"The best book to have if you are in GPland. It covers just the kind of stuff you need to know. None of how to repair this or that surgically, just how to manage patients in the GP surgery and when to know you are out of your depth. My tutor swears that the book was all that she used for her membership (though I don't think I could do just that). But it is by my side right now -fantastic book for the GP. "

"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."

"Do not even think as a Gp Reg of going on a home visit without this book in your bag. At all other times keep it just outside your room for the 'I'm just going to check on the new guidelines' blag that means you need to look in a text book but don't want the patient to se you doing so.

Also excellent are the internet links supplied at the ends of each topic.

Buy it."
