With a clinical focus, this title provides the information central to an understanding of the care of children in clinical practice, without the excesses of postgraduate detail seen in many texts.

* New chapters on emergency paediatrics and preparing for clinical exams in paediatrics and child health

* Feature boxes detailing clinical information, tips, extra information and current guidelines

* OSCE stations in most chapters to assist with examination preparation

* Over 180 Extended Matching Questions (EMQs) for self-assessment with clear explanatory answers to enhance learning
