About the Book

This book is the leading guide to clinical management in primary care. It takes the form of a manual that can be used by the GP during consultation, but its recommendations are backed by the latest research evidence, so that it also serves as a GP's way into the general practice literature. Unlike other evidence-based guidance that is available either online or in paper format, it has an underlying structure which allows the GP to see immediately what treatment is recommended and why. Furthermore, those recommendations are concrete and specific, rather than a list of possibilities that the GP might wish to consider. The 5th edition has not only updated the material in the previous edition but now includes a website - Practicalgeneralpractice.co.uk - which contains the complete manual in interactive format, and links to the primary care literature and other Elsevier products.
