General Practice at a Glance by Paul Booton

General Practice at a Glance by Paul Booton

Following the easy-to-use at a Glance format, this brand new title is illustrated throughout with over 60 full-page color illustrations and employs a symptoms-based approach that mirrors the general practice curriculum.

“A comprehensive guide on history taking, diagnosis and treatment in primary care, useful for written and clinical examinations alikeIn particular, the use of high yield schematics throughout - from contraceptive methods and ear and eye symptoms, to the acute abdomen and gynaecological cancer epidemiology - differentiates this text from the rest." (Mobolaji O. Ajekigbe, Imperial College London)

“This is a valuable book for young clinicians and students of all disciplines. It is intuitive and provides much teaching material for patients.” (Doody’s)

“It will help you develop an understanding of the nature and structure of primary care.” (Student BMA News)

“I think it is a fantastic book. I will be recommending it to medical students and other GP registrars. It is a lovely summary of general practice. The authors are obviously very experienced and have managed to distil the real ‘need to know’ facts in a highly reader friendly and engaging way. I would recommend every practice should have a copy of this text. Medical students will find it really useful for exam revision and not just during a GP placement. It’s a really reader-friendly, clear book. It does not scrimp on the medical facts or lose anything by being so slim and lightweight. I think it is priced perfectly for its intended market. The diagrams and illustrations are particularly good and relevant: it’s an excellent revision text for students. It is very difficult to pick out any weaknesses based on its intended audience. I was thoroughly impressed with this book. I though from the style it was going to be a little too basic but it certainly is not. Particularly noteworthy are the illustrations which are highly relevant and clear. The inclusion of photographs makes this text stand out from other similar texts on the market. A far more engaging and informative read than other stodgy textbooks on the same topic. I would have no hesitation in recommending this to medical and GP registrars.” (2013 BMA Medical Book Awards)
