    5.0 out of 5 stars Good resource for primary care too
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 July 2013
    Format: PaperbackAmazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
    Very much in the style of an "Oxford Handbook" (same publisher, very similar layout, not sure why it's not a tue Oxford Handbook), this is very easy to use/read, either as an education tool, or an aide memoir whilst with a patient. Taking each system in turn, it goes through the common emergencies and urgent problems seen in paediatrics.

    Probably geared more to the level of an FY doctor in hospital - a lot of the problems and management plans are written for secondary care. But equally a really good resource to have in primary care.
