An expanded radiology chapters features improved images, and new topics are devoted to new cancers such as nosocomial infections, and further common surgical procedures. The references have been thoroughly overhauled with 'key references' identifying the best places to start when researching the subject, and all
references are fully accessible via the supporting website.
Loved and trusted by generations of doctors, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine is a reassuring beacon of wisdom, knowledge and skills, that is forever in your sights.Readership: Clinical medical students, junior doctors, general practitioners, and nurses. A wide range of other medical and allied health personnel.

"All medical students should own an OHCM...the best tutor you'll ever have." - Oxford Medical School Gazette "...a truly indispensable medical gem." - Occupational Medicine "...it has not lost any of its fantastic attributes and still remains a top class book...The language is accessible, scholarly yet easy to read and practical and the scope of coverage is amazing, considering the size of the book." - Dr Harry Brown "This handbook is one I wish I were able to author. It is clearly one of the best with its accurate and comprehensive fund of knowledge and its emphasis on the human aspect, written by compassionate educators. I highly recommend it to all clinicians on both sides
of the Atlantic." - Vincent F Carr Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences "...well formatted and beautifully presented...what impresses me most...is the attention given arguably to the most agonising and difficult matters in medicine. These are ethical and philosophical ideals...a truly indispensable medical gem. Every doctor should have ready access to this small volume." - The Society of Occupational Medicine
