Now in its third edition, and endorsed by both the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and the European Society of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, the Manual of Childhood Infections (known by its readers as The Blue Book) is a simple-to-use, evidence-based, and practical handbook on how to recognise, investigate and manage both common and rare infectious diseases in children and babies. The handbook is divided into two sections, the first of which is syndrome-based and covers all the key diagnosis and management features of common childhood infections, such as sepsis, meningitis, and pneumonia. The second section lists specific organisms, and provides all the key points in the epidemiology, clinical features, and management for all the key infections. Each chapter includes key references for further reading and suggestions for future research. Packed with helpful tips and practical guidance, including lists of alternative diagnoses and useful tables, the handbook also features a neonatal and paediatric formulary of around 100 of the commonest used antimicrobials based on the BNF for Children, but presented in a simple easy-to-use weight based dosing regimen. Common side effects and cautions are also included. The book is aimed at both junior trainees looking after ill children and more senior colleagues who want to check their management plans, and is written for both a UK and European audience, reflecting the range of clinical practice across Europe, while being clear where the evidence base is strongest.

Cancer services in the UK need improvement in their scope content and performance. Despite extensive measures taken by successive governments and the NHS evidence suggests that people with cancer in the UK receive less specialist care and experience poorer outcomes than in many other countries. This book sets out a comprehensive framework for the modernisation of cancer services in the NHS covering all the major changes introduced by the government and the health service professions. It describes the current initiatives to improve the services and care of cancer patients and provides an overview of scientific clinical managerial and political change in cancer care. This book is of particular relevance to clinicians and managers with responsibilities for commissioning and providing cancer services in both primary and secondary care. Oncologists surgeons pathologists radiologists cancer nurses and allied professionals hospices charities and patient groups will all find it invaluable.
