Oxford Desk Reference: Geriatric Medicine (Original PDF from Publisher)

With an ageing population, there is little doubt that the majority of hospital-based consultants and their teams will care for older patients and the many complications this presents. This book provides an evidence-based guide for both trainees and consultants in geriatric medicine and those interested in geriatric medicine. Designed in line with the core Royal College curriculum, it provides a comprehensive and relevant guide to the issues seen in everyday geriatric medicine practice across the world.

Presented in an easy-to-use double page spread format, highly bulleted and concise, Oxford Desk Reference: Geriatric Medicine is ideal for quick referral for both trainees and consultants. Contributions from the leading figures in geriatric medicine throughout the world make this book indespensable for all those working in the field, and for all those who have to deal with older patients.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This is a tremendously practical approach to medicine in the aging. The book lays out the issues and possible considerations without becoming intensely physiology-oriented, making it helpful to many levels of reader. With its useful and practical approaches for caring for the aging, I highly recommend this book for clinicians on both sides of the ocean. Doody’s Notes, April 2013
