Suitable for all nurses and healthcare practitioners in medical assessment units and medical wards, as well as A&E staff, it uses a structured approach based on common presenting features and focuses on the first 24 hours of the patient's hospital stay. It draws on a wide range of supporting evidence and also provides sources for further reading.

  • Designed as a quick reference text for use in clinical practice
  • Extensively referenced throughout, thus increasing its appeal to practitioners at all stages of their careers and to those who are undertaking further study
