Quality Assurance in Health Care: A Handbook

by Roger Ellis, Dorothy Whittington

This new textbook covers all aspects of general medicine with introductory chapters on basic sciences and the skills needed by modern practitioners. Throughout, care has been taken to present material in a way that is accessible to students starting their medical training. The text has been carefully edited for clarity and, where possible, illustrations, tables and lists of key points are used to highlight important topics. The clinical chapters stress the presentation, diagnosis and management of all common conditions, including tropical and imported diseases. In addition, there is enough detail on cellular and physiological mechanisms to place the clinical situation in a scientific setting.
