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
