"I suspect this book is equally well known to both undergraduate and postgraduate medics. It was first published in 1987, so I suspect it has been widely used in medical schools as well as by doctors looking to refresh or use it for exams. It also transcends and offers support to primary and secondary care practitioners, and few medical textbooks can claim to cover all these demographic groups.... This book seems to cover an amazing number of topics in significant depth, and all the main specialties are covered as well as young adults and the elderly plus obstetric medicine.... As in keeping with modern textbooks, there is a top-class layout with illustrative figures and boxes and an excellent use of colour and plenty of text that is easy to read.... [it] is quite frankly fantastic, a modern review of clinical medicine with excellent, wide-ranging coverage, and it will appeal to a wide audience, from medical students to established healthcare professionals." Review by Dr Harry Brown, Geriatric Medicine Journal (Pavilion Health Today), January 2026

User reviews, Amazon UK:
“So in depth yet concise and organised. Perfect for a medical student. Really helped revise for my pre med exams and also do my coursework. Great value for money. Really great structure and layout. Made the content far more readable than what was supplied in lectures.”

“Great textbook and if you only have the money to buy one I’d recommend this one.”

“Best book for anyone from the Medical Profession. Wish I had found it earlier….”
