"Paediatrics and Child Health is the perfect textbook to prepare you for clinical practice - providing a comprehensive and practical guide to paediatric disorders as they present to the practitioner, and grouped together by system for easy navigation. From birth through to adolescence, the book's emphasis is on common and important paediatric problems. It is the only book that takes each symptom and walks you through history taking and physical examination step-by-step. Each section concludes with characteristics and features of the symptoms covered, allowing you to reach differential diagnoses in a logical, highly-structured way. A unique feature are the videos on the website that accompanies the book. Designed to enhance your clinical skills and help you in OSCEs, they show you how to examine children correctly. This third edition has been substantially updated throughout and includes new chapters on cardiac conditions and social paediatrics. Beautifully presented, with many new illustrations and photographs, favourite features such as 'at a glance' and 'clues to the diagnosis' boxes are back, with new 'red flag' boxes to signal the crucial information you need. The self-assessment section allows you to check your knowledge and prepare for paediatrics exams. Paediatrics and Child Health is the perfect resource for a course on paediatrics, and is accompanied by a FREE enhanced Wiley Desktop Edition - the interactive digital version of the book with downloadable text and images, highlighting and note-taking facilities, book-marking, cross-referencing, in-text searching, and linking to references and glossary terms"--Provided by publisher.
