A concise, comprehensive textbook aimed at candidates for the new MRCPCH examination. It is structured logically by body system and will provide both trainees and junior qualified staff with a full understanding of all of the areas covered by the MRCPCH. It contains up-to-date, clinically relevant data from very recent scientific studies in such fast-moving topics as medical genetics and immunology. The book is fully illustrated in black and white throughout with specially-generated artwork and makes much use of tables and algorithms to summarise and simplify complex processes.
