Short description
The must have management guide for all paediatric clinicians and students

With today's busy clinician requiring an reliable, 'one-stop-shop' to questions on important paediatric conditions, who better to present the latest edition of a popular paediatric handbook than the team at The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, long-regarded as the leading clinical and training centre for Paediatric Medicine in Australia?

Some of the exciting new features of the 8th edition include:

* New chapters on sleep, continence, slow weight gain (failure to thrive) and obesity

* Extensively revised chapters on renal conditions, pain management and immigrant health

* New topics on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (pumps), cystic fibrosis, stroke and management of illicit drug poisoning

* Links to useful internet websites are now included, indicated by a www symbol in the text margins

* A new supplementary website at www.rchhandbook.org

* Resuscitation guide and Australian Immunisation schedule on inside covers

Besides being a clinical management guide to paediatrics, this is also an excellent supplemental handbook for students, junior medical staff and any medical practitioners needing a tool to enable fast decisions at point of care.

Review of the previous edition

" This is an excellent handbook, which is most comprehensive and easy to use. It is highly recommended for all resident and registrar staff in paediatric hospitals and paediatric units. "
