Reviews

In our opinion, 'The Pocket Prescriber (Psychiatry)' is one of those few tools from which practising psychiatrists and trainees- both UK and international medical graduates- as well as non-mental health specialists will equally benefit. It includes an impressive amount of information for its compact size. [...] Overall we found this Pocket Prescriber a wonderfully comprehensive book for its small size. We particularly commend it to those who have recently graduated and those who have just joined the UK healthcare workforce. -Emmeline Lagunes-Cordoba, Kings College London, UK.
