Description
"Forfar and Arneil's Textbook of Pediatrics" is still the only book that covers the full curriculum for the membership examination of the UK Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. This new sixth edition will further strengthen the book's established position as the standard British and European text covering the entire specialty of paediatrics. There are some major differences in this edition, reflecting the general changes in style and practice of clinical medicine and recent important and relevant scientific advances. The print edition is accompanied by a CD-ROM containing full text and images from the book which will be helpful for both postgraduate students preparing for examinations and for practicing clinicians.
