Clinic Cases in Paediatrics: An Outpatient Clinic Manual provides a wealth of commonly encountered clinical scenarios, to enable trainees to manage paediatric outpatient cases more effectively.
Featuring in-depth analyses, trainees are prompted to apply their knowledge to real-life clinical situations, and then reach a confident diagnosis and management plan.

Each case is presented in a structured format, providing an overview including an authentic GP referral letter, differential diagnosis, management plans, and additional resources.
Edited by recognised Hertfordshire-based experts in the field, this second edition has been extensively revised and updated with new topics in line with contemporary clinical practice.
