This revised and updated handbook covers every potential accident and emergency case, from major life-threatening conditions to the more frequently encountered minor complaints. The essentials of diagnosis and management are described, including precise drug dosages and common sources of error. The book includes many new topics and guidelines at the forefront of developments in the A&E department.
This book provides 300 MCQs for the MRCPCH, together with referenced explanatory notes. The free QBase CD-ROM included with the book considerably enhances its versatility and utility and makes this package much more than just a book of MCQs. The CD-ROM can be installed in seconds and gives the reader an incredible range of options. Not only can the reader practice the set exams, but the program will mark these exams, allow the reader to customize exams to focus in on areas requiring further revision, shuffle the question stems (A-E) to prevent the candidate from memorising 'patterns' of answers and advise on examination strategy. It also has the facility to print out and store test results and provide helpful notes on each question. The CD-ROM also now gives a subject-based as well as an overall analysis of each exam

Core Paediatrics and Child Health: Olver Child Health 1E
Description:
A study of core paediatrics and child health. It discusses any condition or topic which has one or more of the following features: it is common; potentially serious in its impact on a child's health (particularly important if preventable by early and appropriate intervention); the subject of a screening programme or public health programme such as immunisation; of ethical or legal importance; or of interest to the public. At a practical level, it seeks to make it possible to embark on a junior training post involving children, such as a GP trainee, or an accident and emergency or paediatric house officer. It also aims to reflect the need to demonstrate the relevance of science to clinical practice and that learning medicine should be a process of inquiry and understanding rather than rote
