Review :
"This book is a perfect accompaniment to those "problems of old age" modules that there is never enough time for. The lecture notes series are always good and this is no exception. Straight and to the point without all the waffle." Sphincter, Liverpool Medical Students' Gazette "Lecture Notes on Geriatrics remains the number one choice for undergraduates and newly qualified doctors alike. The fact that it is in it's fourth edition showing how well it has stood the test of time. The new edition, much revised and updated, has succinct chapters giving good practical advice on treatment and managment, with highlighted lists of important points." BMJ best books in geriatrics on the previous edition.
