Overview

Hot Topics in General Practice remains one of the best-selling guides to the articles currently influencing general practice. This latest edition covers all the key articles right through to Spring 2008 - from, for example, the BMJ, the Lancet, British Journal of General Practice, Journal of the American Medical Association, New England Journal of Medicine, and Evidence-Based Medicine. Each topic not only provides details of the latest publications, but all summarises what is already known, lists the key trials, and the current guidelines and recommendations. Now in its 9th edition, it continues to provide readers, whether nMRCGP candidates or qualified GPs, with the earliest possible means of keeping up-to-date.
