Description
Designed as a successor to the highly regarded hutchinson’s practical paediatric problems this will be an entirely new textbook for trainee paediatricians in preparation for the mrcpch examination and beyond. The content will be centred upon the rcpch publication ‘ a syllabus and training record for general professional training in paediatrics and child health’ and reflects the ‘particular problems’ that are identified under each section contained therein. An additional section on tropical paediatric medicine ensures that the material will also be of relevance to paediatricians in the developing world. The text will adopt a highly structured approach throughout. Clinical chapters will open with a section of background information on the particular ‘problems’ being discussed, including anatomy, physiology and a description of the techniques involved in investigation where these will be critical to the diagnoses that follow. Core system problems will then be presented in tabular form
