Oxford Handbook of Paediatrics (2nd Edition)

The Oxford Handbook of Paediatrics provides a comprehensive, systematic approach to the care of the child, from the neonatal period through to adolescence. This 2nd edition has been thoroughly revised by a team of specialist contributors and editors to ensure that it meets the needs of modern pediatric practice.

The handbook is designed to be used as a primary resource on the wards, in the clinic, and for exam preparation (such as the MRCPCH). It covers clinical assessment, emergencies, and the management of both common and rare pediatric conditions. Beyond the medical facts, it addresses the "soft skills" of pediatrics, including how to communicate effectively with children of different ages and how to support their families during stressful hospital stays.
