About the series

The Oxford Specialist Handbooks offer a radically new way for specialist trainees and their colleagues to access practical management advice. Portable, succinct, and above all reliable, they have become indispensable guides in difficult and challenging areas of practice.

Like the ever-popular Oxford Handbooks they come in a handy pocket-sized format with durable plastic covers, which can stand up to regular use. The text is written in a clear and concise style, helping the reader to find the necessary information quickly, and is complemented with tables, algorithms and illustrations.

All the material is evidence-based and an exhaustive peer-review process ensures the content is of the highest quality. Where possible the Oxford Specialist Handbooks follow relevant curricula and accreditation programmes in the UK and Europe.
