The Facts SeriesAll the information you need, straight from the experts

The Facts series offers clear, straightforward, and practical advice about a range of medical conditions and topics.
The mass of medical information now available can be bewildering, and it can be difficult to know which sources to trust. For patients and their carers wishing to go beyond the information available from busy doctors, or simply not sure of the right questions to ask, The Facts series offers a clear path through a maze of conflicting advice.
Every title is written by a specialist in the field, so the reader can be sure that the information offered is reliable, authoritative and balanced. The experts cover all the most frequently-asked questions, from background information to treatment options, terminology, how daily life will be affected, and where to go for more help.
Designed to be accessible to patients and their families, The Facts books are also ideal for healthcare professionals of all levels who are looking for brief, practical reviews to help them in advising their patients.
