Unique among medical texts, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine is a complete and concise guide to the core areas of medicine that also encourages thinking about the world from the patient's perspective, to develop a holistic approach to care with a passion for practice.

Now in its eleventh edition, this renowned Handbook has been fully updated to reflect the latest changes in clinical practice and best management, filled with expert knowledge, practical advice, and reassurance. In the tradition of bringing new voices to each edition, three authors have joined the writing team, bringing a fresh perspective to the content. The chapters on emergencies, endocrinology and diabetes, haematology, oncology, and surgery have been completely revamped, and every page has been reviewed by a consultant and a trainee to ensure it continues to be accurate, relevant, and user-friendly. Figures and illustrations have been carefully revised and updated in response to reader feedback, and key references fine-tuned to include only the most up-to-date and pertinent.

Loved and trusted by millions for almost four decades, the unparalleled Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine continues to be your reliable and truly indispensable companion for the practice and philosophy of modern medicine. The warmth and wisdom you will find in these pages will help you become the doctor you want to be.
