Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is as essential as the Oxford Handbook or the BNF, to put it mildly "the best thing since sliced bread" -- St. Thomas' Medical Gazette

"This wonderful book contains all you need to know to get through your house jobs..... it has priority in my already laden white coat over the Oxford Handbook." -- 2nd Opinion

"I'd advise everyone to get this book as an accompaniment to your Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine." -- Sphincter

"It is very well written, beautifully laid out and extremely practical." -- Dr Tony Hope, Director of Ethox, Institute of Health Sciences, Oxford

"This book is as essential as the Oxford Handbook or the BNF, to put it mildly 'the best thing since sliced bread'." St. Thomas' Medical Gazette

"Invaluable for HOs but more than useful for 5th year medical students and SHOs too!" Southampton Health Journal

Published Reviews of the 2nd Edition

"It is exactly what it says: a practical, no-nosense, hands-on guide to real life as a PRHO.

.Basically, its all information we should have acquired during medical school but rarely have all in one place as we place so much emphasis on book learning and little on the practicalities of daily life as a PRHO."

Northwing, vol.67, no.2, Autumn/Winter 2002
