The Royal Society of Medicine Press is delighted to publish Recent Advances in Paediatrics 21, which is part of the successful and well established Recent Advances series (previously published by Churchill Livingstone).

This title is published annually with entirely new contents. It provides a comprehensive update of key topics in paediatrics and child health for those preparing for postgraduate exams (such as MRCPCH) as well as practising paediatricians seeking an update in their own and related specialties. Topics range across all areas of paediatrics and child health including general paediatrics, neonatal, tropical and community paediatric to satisfy the book's equally broad readership. Featuring an annotated literature review, this is a truly invaluable book for both qualified and trainee paediatricians.
