First Prize Winners

Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine Medicine Category The seventh edition and 21st birthday says it all. -BMA Medical Book Competition 2007

Shunned Mental Health Category Once a person is labelled a mentally ill, their decision-making ability is called into question and protests against treatments are either discredited or labelled as one more symptom of mental illness. ... The solution is not seen as lessening stigma but as ensuring people labelled as mentally ill retain the right as citizens to challenge the label and their treatment as well as the right to retain basic control over their lives... Perhaps from this recognition, a civil rights movement may grow, dedicated to the liberation of people with mental illness from being marginalised, from being excluded and from being shunned. -BMA Medical Book Competition 2007

Radiotherapy in Practice - External Beam Therapy Oncology Category A very nice and practically useful book for those involved in radiotherapy planning, clinical decision-making, and delivery. ... Trainees in radiotherapy in particular will find this book invaluable. It is a text that will be used rather than simply gather dust on the shelf. -BMA Medical Book Competition 2007

Oxford Handbook of Geriatric Medicine Healthcare for the Elderly Category This is an excellent book. It is succinct yet easy to read ... There are useful little boxes of How To's eg How To Give Sub-Cut Fluids, Use Digoxin, Assess Depression etc. I thought I know how to do many of these tips but I still found then useful and interesting. This is a useful book for anyone spending time looking after old patients. -BMA Medical Book Competition 2007
