Concise Paediatrics, second edition is essential reading for all postgraduates training in paediatrics, particularly when preparing for the MRCPCH exam, and for general practice trainees preparing for the DCH exam. It will also be invaluable to doctors in other medical specialties who come into contact with children on a regular basis, as a comprehensive but concise, quick reference to any condition they are likely to encounter on the wards or in the accident and emergency room.

Designed to provide the reader with a full understanding of all of the areas covered by the MRCPCH, Concise Paediatrics, second edition is structured logically by body system, with additional chapters on such topics as genetics, infectious disease, neonatology and emergencies.

Edited by two highly experience paediatricians, their knowledge complemented by a group of specialist contributors, it is written in a succinct, user-friendly style, and has many lists, boxes and annotated diagrams to aid learning and retention of the facts.

Since the first edition was published in 2000, Concise Paediatrics has established itself as the textbook of choice for MRCPCH candidates, and will remain a ‘must-have’ with this revised and updated second edition.
