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.

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.

Written by the same author team as the successful and well-regarded Concise Paediatrics for postgraduates, Easy Paediatrics is a textbook specifically written for medical students.
Easy Paediatrics is structured in a systems-based fashion, with additional chapters on subjects such as history and examination, development, genetics, emergencies and surgery. The material is presented logically with presentations, clinical findings, investigations and management options, and useful boxes covering differential diagnoses, causes and complications are also included to complete the picture.
Clinical photographs and illustrative diagrams are provided throughout to help the student visualise what they are reading about, and the book is enhanced by a companion website, which contains OSCE-style clinical scenarios and MCQs for all the body systems, so the reader can test what they have learned.
Presented in an easy-to-remember style, Easy Paediatrics gives the medical student everything they need to succeed in their paediatrics modules, without bombarding them with excess knowledge that will not be covered in their exams.
