The provision of health care services for children is central to improving the nation's health and remains a key feature of every government's policy. This concept has been recognised in the United Kingdom since nineteenth century visionaries prompted increasing interest in the welfare of the country's school children. Successive generations have built upon these foundations and have been diligent in promoting effective service development. It is right that we follow their example, for the young have only one chance of a healthy upbringing. They are totally dependent on others to provide the right services, which are sensitive enough to address individual needs, yet sufficiently comprehensive to enable as many children as possible to reach adulthood with their potential uncom promised by illness. Our objective must be to enable today's children to enjoy a healthy childhood and to equip them to maximise the benefits of a healthy lifestyle in the years to come. We are making an essential investment in the future and must appreciate the challenges which come with that commitment. We need a multi-professional approach, positive management skills and the adoption of good management practice. I therefore welcome this book on managing child health services and commend the initiative of its editors in bringing together such an impressive team of contributors from different disciplines.

The first of a range of four-colour textbooks for medical students, this book encompasses the clinical practice of infectious diseases as they occur in the hospital and community. It takes a problem-solving approach, which should appeal to those preparing for exams or working in the clinical setting, and is designed for use by senior medical students and junior doctors preparing for higher examinations. It is also a companion textbook for physicians, surgeons and public health doctors who are not specialists in infection, but often encounter infections as a problem in their own field of expertise. There are key points in marginal notes for definitions, practice points and emergencies. There is also a structured approach to each disease: microbiology, epidemiology, clinical features and diagnosis, and management strategies for prevention and control.
