The chapters may be used independently or in conjunction with each other when managing patients on the ward or in the GP surgery.
There is a list of abbreviations and acronyms at the beginning of the book and the appendices include clinical tools, such as algorithms and scores, ECGs, a section on emergencies, for example life-support algorithms, and a palliative care section. The guide is aimed at GPs, GPs in training, foundations doctors, nurses, pharmacists and medical students.
