Oxford Handbook of Geriatric Medicine, 3rd Edition (Oxford Medical Handbooks) (EPUB)
New Edition of the Oxford Handbook in Geriatric Medicine
Written by Lesley K. Bowker, James D. Price, Kunal S. Shah, Sarah C. Smith, this revised edition of the handbook presents the latest updates in geriatric medicine. The book reflects changes in clinical practice since the previous edition, including the Francis report’s impact on care for the older patient, the National Dementia Strategy and screening, and the evolution of the role of Geriatricians in other specialties. With an aging population, geriatric medicine has become increasingly central to emergency and internal medicine in hospital settings and general practice. Common diseases prevalent amongst older persons can be particularly difficult to assess and treat effectively. Moreover, this book includes clinical vignettes and how-to boxes, providing practical advice on common geriatric problems. This practical, accessible, and essential handbook is meant for all medical staff who manage older patients.
