The Science of Paediatrics: MRCPCH Mastercourse

"This book is innovative and original in assisting the reader to apply the principles of science to paediatric practice" -Professor Neena Modi, Former President, Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.

The Science of Paediatrics, MRCPCH Mastercourse, provides essential background preparation for the MRCPCH Theory and Science examination. It contains an up-to-date review of the application of science to everyday paediatric clinical practice, whether it is interpreting clinical signs or investigations, prescribing drugs or identifying best management. Although this understanding is essential in order to make informed clinical decisions, it is diffi cult to obtain as it is not usually covered in clinical textbooks.

"highly recommended to anyone studying for or taking the relevant examinations but also to others able to use it appropriately as a resource in day-to-day practice.

Drs Tom Lissauer and Will Carroll have produced a very much wanted text, by putting together what committed professionals need to know… The book is most desirable tool for the candidates preparing for examinations and interviews." --British Association for Community Child Health (BACCH) Newsletter
