Every consultant has pearls of wisdom they wish they could share
with GPs: knowledge they have acquired from years of experience and
evidence-based study, which could lead to improved speed and
decision in referral, more efficient use of resources and, overall,
better patient care. Instant Wisdom for GPs gathers these pearls
together, presenting ten bullet-point gems from a comprehensive
range of clinical specialties, together with advice on obscure or
overlooked diagnoses, guidance on how to distinguish tricky
differentials and tips on prescribing. The content has been
thoroughly revised and updated for this second edition. New
chapters have been added on alcohol use disorders, behavioural
problems in children, clinical biochemistry, emergency
presentations, genetics and genomics, obesity and bariatric
medicine, and women’s health, all from contributors expert in
these fields. Key Features: Each specialty chapter offers ten
pearls of wisdom, with detailed explanation from a leading
