Cases in Paediatrics: A Trainee Handbook includes a unique collection of commonly encountered clinical scenarios, all introduced in the form of a referral letter from a general practitioner to a paediatrician. Each scenario is then described from the perspective of the paediatrician, with a step-by-step guide to the initial assessment, diagnosis and management of the patient.
The case-based approach and consistent structure of the content make this book an invaluable resource for trainees preparing for postgraduate examinations, work-based assessments and supervised learning events.
