Description
This is a clinical manual providing succinct, evidence-based guidelines to the diagnosis and management of approximately 100 common paediatric
problems, as well as additional material on examination of children, milestone checks, immunisations, etc. Each clinical problem is covered
in 1-3 pages of text, and the treatment recommendations are supported by references to the best available guidelines, websites and other
reference material. The book helps to bridge the gap between primary and secondary care, so that it is clear when and where to manage
the ill child - when to refer for hospital care, and when to manage within the primary care setting.
