BMA Judges Comments:
This book is a pleasure to read. The text is simple and well-written, and summary boxes aid recall and understanding. Illustrations are clear and helpful. The vast majority of the subject matter is important reading for the vast majority of paediatricians. In particular I would recommend this book as vital reading for trainees about to take their MRCPCH viva examinations.

The Royal Society of Medicine Press is delighted to publish Recent Advances in Paediatrics 22, which is part of the successful and well established Recent Advances series.

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.
