Reviews

"For a specialty that can tend to marginalize physical health, this is a concise reference with some good pointers towards more detailed information where appropriate. ...Of more interest to medical students and doctors working within the area of mental health." - Nursing Times (Online)

"It is time for psychiatrists to be seen as 'real doctors' again and it is our job to make sure our patients get the physical healthcare they are entitled to. But some rapid revision is called for...this book will give us confidence that we have an up-to-date handle on physical health. This book will be invaluable to any member of the psychiatry team." - British Journal of Psychiatry

"The layout makes this an easy to read reference, with summary boxes clearly colour coded for those in a hurry. Of particular use are the learning points at the end of each chapter." - Nursing Times (Online)
