"The succinct and practical nature of the book makes it an excellent handy reference guide, with a surprising amount of detail on each condition." (JSAP, 2012) "The following chapters (all beautifully illustrated with colour photographs) look at the various conditions according to their aetiology. . . I would recommend that you protect and reinforce the soft cover of this Clinical Companion because I believe it won't resist the intensive use it is likely to get in the consulting room."

The bullet-point format lends itself to fast, easy reading and the client handout templates are of particular interest for general practitioners. This edition significantly updates the first edition, published in 2002." (Doody's, April 2011)
