About this book

Essential Paediatrics in Primary Care covers the breadth of paediatric practice, written with the frontline experience of the challenges and dilemmas faced in diagnosing and treating children in primary care in mind. The practical text continues to offer clear, evidence-based guidance about managing children in primary care, including when referral to hospital is appropriate, and has been fully revised and updated in this second edition.

From the Foreword to the First Edition:

'Anyone practising generalist paediatrics should have the material within these chapters either hard-wired in, or at the fingertips. This book is ideal for the primary care bookshelf...The authors have ensured that clinicians' paediatric knowledge and skills can only grow with familiarity of their material.'

John Spicer, GP and Medical Educator, London
