Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine and Oxford Handbook of Medical Sciences Pack

The Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine and Oxford Handbook of Medical Sciences are bundled together in a great value pack.

These bestselling handbooks are the ultimate guide to the practice and philosophy of medicine and provide a clear account of basic cell physiology and biochemistry. Now in its ninth edition, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine continues to be the definitive pocket-friendly guide to medicine.

The culmination over 25 years of experience at the bedside and in the community, this handbook is packed with practical advice, wit, and wisdom. The Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine presents clinical information in a clear way that makes it easy to revise, remember, and implement on the ward.

It gives reliable advice on what to do, when to do it, and how to do it, with clinical photographs and diagrams that bring theory to life.

Uniquely for a medical text, this book weaves history, literature, art, and philosophy into its survey of medicine, casting new light on the specialties and encouraging the reader to see beyond the practical aspects of medicine and adopt a patient-centred approach to care. Every chapter has been written with supervision from experts in each field to ensure accuracy, and updated to reflect relevant guidelines from the NHS, NICE, the Resuscitation Council and other key professional bodies. Written by biomedical scientists and clinicians to disseminate the fundamental scientific principles that underpin clinical medicine, this new edition of the Oxford Handbook of Medical Sciences provides a clear, easily digestible account of basic cell physiology and biochemistry, and an investigation of the traditional piers of medicine (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology and pharmacology) integrated in the context of each of the major systems relevant to the human body.

Cross-referenced to the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine, and thoroughly illustrated, it is the ideal introduction to the basic medical sciences for junior medical students, and a perfect revision guide for senior students. Loved and trusted by generations of doctors, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine and the Oxford Handbook of Medical Sciences continue to be indispensable companions for the practice of modern medicine.
