| Review(s) from previous edition:
- 'Finally the new edition has arrived and in short it's brilliant.' - Northwing (Sheffield Medical School Magazine) June 2004
- 'This bad boy, chummily referred to as the "salt'n'vinegar" does exactly what it says on the packet, delivering all the specialties you will encounter in life as a clinical medical student. ... OHCS is concisely planned and organised, with a fantastic index. The wonderful dangly book-mark bits are there as ever, and OHCS is also usefully cross-referenced with the cheese'n'onion. ... I cannot
over-emphasise how helpful this book is during our specialty blocks in 4th and 5th years. Highly recommended.' - SURGO, Glasgow University Medical Journal
- '... an invaluable quick reference guide, either as a reminder of a condition or for more detailed facts. ... This is a book that has stood, and will no doubt continue to stand the test of time.' - Cambridge Medicine
- 'For less than the price of a slap-up meal out, you too can be the proud owner of the OHCS - a bargain if ever I saw one.' - Dr JM Sager

| The seventh edition of this highly acclaimed Oxford Handbook covers all the major specialties not covered in its companion handbook, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine. It continues to provide all the ideas and facts essential to those who will, or who are already, caring for patients whose needs may or may not fit within the traditional bounds of individual specialties. The text is
concise and clear and laid out in the Oxford Handbooks' characteristic page-a-topic format, leaving space for the reader's own updatings and refinements.
Updated throughout, with extensive revisions in key chapters and all new colour illustrations, the text goes from strength to strength with every new edition. It is thoroughly up-to-date and more evidence-based than ever before. This book is
brimming with practical advice and contains hundreds of links to reliable medical internet sites such as Medline and Clinical Evidence, enabling the reader to probe deeper into the topics covered.
Above all, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialties remains human and humorous, and in this edition there is an increased emphasis on patient-centred medicine. It provides not only the practical
aspects of medical care, but also a philosophy of medicine which has come to be respected around the world.
The Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialties for PDAs enables enhanced, multi-layered access to the entire text, illustrations and tables. Fast access is available via the table of contents, index and full-text search, and there is a facility for bookmarking and annotating the text. It is
suitable for all Palm and Pocket PC devices, as well as PDA-enabled mobile phones.
