This latest edition of the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialties continues its long tradition of providing a unique resource for medical students and junior doctors. It is an excellent companion for anyone who would like an introduction to the medical specialties, those who practice across a wide range of specialties, or whose field interacts with many other specialties. There has been a substantial increase in the number of images and diagrams, and there are also new features throughout the book that help clear the mists from often confusing medical terminology. Best evidence, advances in practice, and guidelines are all fully updated, including the latest BLS, APLS, and ATLS approaches. In combination with its companion volume, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine, the eighth edition should be an essential companion for any medical trainee or practitioner.
