An essential guide to general practice and being a general
practitioner, A Textbook of General Practice is written
specifically with the medical student and foundation doctor in
mind. Reflecting current practice, the book does not seek to
reiterate the content of a general medical textbook, but instead
teaches the fundamental principles of general practice. The
coverage is comprehensive, with everything the undergraduate
student or foundation doctor will encounter in a general practice
module or rotation. The skills and knowledge presented can usefully
be applied to all areas of clinical practice. With practical
exercises throughout the book, readers are encouraged to learn
through doing. Quotes from students and tutors offer insights into
personal experience, while thinking and discussion points encourage
reflection. New features in this edition include improved
organization, "red flag" pointers to serious illnesses, and
SBA-style self assessment questions. With content entirely updated
to reflect the latest recommendations from Tomorrow's Doctors, the
third edition of A Textbook of General Practice is the number one
choice for undergraduates seeking a narrative introduction to this
important discipline.
The seventh edition of Wills, Probate and Estates has been written
to provide trainee solicitors with a clear and thorough
understanding of current best practice in the area of wills,
trusts, probate, and the administration of estates. The manual
takes into account all recent changes in legislation. The book
outlines the basic elements of a will, familiarising trainees with
the common law and statutory background, and enabling them to draft
wills and simple trusts in accordance with statute and their
clients' informed instructions. It then outlines how to obtain the
necessary grant of representation on the death of a client, either
with or without a will, and how to administer such an estate,
taking into account the various obligations on the personal
representative. Wills, Probate and Estates provides succinct and
practical advice, provided by solicitors for solicitors, tackling
questions of practice and procedure that are of central importance
not only for students on the Professional Practice Course, but also
to practitioners who deal with any area of wills, trusts, probate,
or the administration of estates.
A vivid picture of wartime Lincolnshire, and an engagingly readable
account of the life of a busy parish priest. Arthur Hopkins arrived
in the Lincolnshire town of Boston in November 1942 to take up the
post of Vicar of St Thomas's Church in the working-class parish of
Skirbeck Quarter. He was already writing almost daily instalments
of a diary for the social research organisation, Mass Observation.
Generously conceived, it is written almost as if it were a series
of letters to a friend abroad, providing descriptions and comments
on everyday life in wartime. Little was beneath his notice. This
was a man who had attended university with the King after the Great
War and had prominent relations, but was also egalitarian in his
leanings and sympathetic to the "common people". His is the diary
ofa thoughtful and perceptive individual who had a realistic sense
of himself, his society, and the fragility of life; the engagingly
readable entries reveal fascinating details of wartime Lincolnshire
and the life of a busy parishpriest. The diary is edited here with
introduction and notes. Patricia and Robert Malcolmson are social
historians with a special interest in English diaries written
between the 1930s and 1950s. They have edited for publication over
a dozen of these diaries.
This book is to celebrate the amazing life of Aaron Stephenson.
Aaron was born with an extremely rare syndrome but defied the odds
to lead a full and active childhood. Diagnosed with a muscle
wasting condition at 7 years old, he ignored all the doctors and
lived his life to the full. Aaron didn't just meet life head on,
but wrestled it to the ground and beat it into submission. He was
the one who made sure we went to swim with the dolphins every year.
Aaron enjoyed, a wide range of sports, including rock climbing and
canoeing. He jetted off to Lourdes a couple of times, loved Disney
World and we even went to Lapland to meet Father Christmas where he
lives. "Limited" was just not a word that sprang to mind when you
thought about Aaron. Aaron did more, and touched the lives and
hearts of more people in 14 years than most people could possibly
hope to in 90 years. As Aaron's Daddy said to me afterwards, and I
have quoted in the book "the only thing worse than losing Aaron
would be never to had him in the first place." Peaceful now and
swimming with his beloved dolphins for ever, our angel, the
brightest star; Aaron. We love you
