Succinct, accessible for all levels of experience, great value for money
'This book is a useful addition to any GP's bookshelf. The chapter on diagnosis of skin lesions is succinct and gives a deeper understanding of dermatology cases in general practice. Those who carry out minor ops will enjoy the pictorial aids that underpin the explanation of these procedures. There is also chapters for those who do contraceptive implants/injections/coils, and joint injections. The joint injection chapter provides a useful aide-memoire on different approaches to each joint, what dose and type of of steroid to use and needle size.
In summary, this book is easy to read and can be used both as a quick reference guide, or as a learning tool for those setting out on the journey of learning practical procedures in general practice. Having read it once cover to cover, I now plan to have it sitting on my bookshelf at work so I can refer to it as and when I feel the need in the future. It's versatility means it is brilliant value for money!' Amazon reviewer
