Author: Lesley Bowker
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191629995
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 724
Book Description
In an ageing population, geriatric medicine has become central to general practice, and to emergency and general internal medicine in the hospital setting.

Fully updated, this second edition of the Oxford Handbook of Geriatric Medicine includes all the information required to deliver effective geriatric care. Guidance is given on a range of key treatment areas, indicating where practice differs from that of younger adults or is ill informed by evidence, where dangers lurk for the inexperienced clinician, and on the many ethical and clinical dilemmas common in geriatric practice. This accessible handbook is essential reading for all junior doctors and specialist trainees in geriatric medicine and general internal medicine, and for all medical and nursing staff who manage older people.
