Primary care diagnostics involves interpreting and applying
information obtained directly from the patient. It re-emphasises
the importance of the patient's input into the diagnostic process
and of using investigations only after careful consideration has
been given to the costs and benefits from both the patient's and
the health service's perspectives. The first edition of this book,
Patient-Centred Diagnosis, was acclaimed for returning the patient
to the centre of diagnostic input and focusing on the interaction
between doctor and patient. This revised and augmented new edition,
Primary Care Diagnostics, expands on that success; it reflects the
broader and equally important issues considered by clinicians or
commissioners focusing on the diagnostic approach within primary
care, and includes entirely new chapters on cancer and
commissioning. Family doctors and other healthcare professionals in
the primary care team will find this an enlightening guide. Private
and commercial providers of primary care clinical assessment and
diagnostic services will also find it of great interest, as will
healthcare managers, as well as policy makers and shapers. From
reviews of the First Edition: 'Even the more technical sections are
expressed in a straightforward language. The style is clear,
flowing and engaging. Useful.' THE BRITISH JOURNAL OF GENERAL
PRACTICE 'Thought provoking. Clear, understandable and uses real
examples from general practice. This is a book for GPs who wish to
take a step back from daily practice and think about the reasons
behind their actions.' PULSE
