Judges Comments
"This book is structured well into 4 sections. Of particular merit: the succinct flow chart for the management of osteoporosis; box 51 of NICE referral recommendations for breast cancer is very useful as a quick reference; and the indications for endocrine investigations which are really practical and packed with pearls of wisdom. It is clearly written and precise"
