This pocket reference and revision guide is a must for all medical students and junior doctors preparing for major exams in paediatrics and child health or needing a rapid reminder during a clinical attachment. Now thoroughly updated and with the addition of key references, this new edition provides quick access to information on common paediatric problems and disorders, their signs, symptoms, and aetiological agents.

It includes sections on surgical problems, procedures, and general paediatric management such as resuscitation techniques, and features tips on how to take a paediatric history. It presents the contents ordered by system and conditions in alphabetical order, reflects current NICE and paediatric surgery guidelines, and features over 15 new presentations including eczema, food allergies and conduct disorder.
