Review :
'If you are looking for a book that provides you with a quick overview of geriatric medicine, focuses in key points only and is small enough to fit in your white coat this is the ideal book.' GKT Gazette, 2001 'An excellent book overall. I would have used this book regularly during my elderly care attachment for reference when around the wards and clinics and for reading prior to tutorials.' 5th year medical student (Southampton) 'This is the perfect accompaniment to those 'problems of old age' modules that there is never enough time for. The lecture notes series is good and this is no exception.' Sphincter, Liverpool Medical school Gazette 'I'm very impressed with it.…Contains enough detail to answer questions on a ward round!' 4th year medical student (UEA)
