The book has been completely rewritten and updated. It now includes sections on drug side
effects masquerading as minor illness and how to interpret and manage red flag symptoms.
There are new infographics to help you to interpret clinical data, and flowcharts on
managing acute conditions. Relevant prescribing information has been placed next to each
recommended medicine. The NMIC formulary (which is currently being updated) is still
available to view on the members' section of our website.
The book contains a voucher for six months free access to the members' section of our website.
Review for the fifth edition:
What a fabulous new book! I really like the logical and concise layout of it. Very easy to read and follow for study and I can see it will be very nice to use in practice too. Graham Lucas, paramedic
