This is a clinical manual providing succinct, evidence-based guidelines to the diagnosis and management of approximately 100 common paediatric problems, as well as additional material on examination of children, milestone checks, immunisations, etc. Each clinical problem is covered in 1-3 pages of text, and the treatment recommendations are supported by references to the best available guidelines, websites and other reference material.
