Oxford Handbook of Paediatrics

Now fully revised and updated with the latest guidelines, this new edition is a compact guide to all aspects of acute and chronic paediatrics. Taking a child-centred approach to the subject, the authors have provided comprehensive coverage of areas such as neonatology, surgery, genetics and congenital malformations, and child protection in a user-friendly and succinct style. Sections are also devoted to covering the treatment of children in the community, and the psychological effects of illness on both the child and their family.
