The Paediatric Handbook provides a comprehensive practical guide to the management of health problems in infants, children and adolescents. The handbook draws on the expertise of the staff of the Royal Children's Hospital.

The seventh edition now has an online supplement, providing access to a wealth of additional information and resources on the Internet. The seventh edition has been fully revised and updated and several new sections added. Large parts have also been reformatted making management guidelines easier to follow, while maintaining the "at-a-glance" format that made previous editions easy to use.

The Paediatric handbook is an essential text for the broad range of community practitioners involved in the care of children and also serves as an excellent reference for medical students and hospital residents.
