This handbook provides a readily assimilated white coat pocket book in endocrinology and diabetes. The target audience is specialist registrars and SHOs in endocrinology, diabetes, and internal medicine. There is no other book that discusses clinical investigation and management in such a convenient way, including both the protocols and explicit clinical information necessary for the management of individual patients. All the individual chapters have been scrutinized by an expert panel of referees to ensure a high quality product of international standing. From the Foreword by Professor Sir George Alberti, President of the Royal College of Physicians, London: "It contains many helpful practical nuggets and will, I am sure, be required briefcase or pocket content. It fills a gap in an important area of clinical practice. The authors and publishers are to be commended."

This unique pocket guide to endocrinology and diabetes has been fully revised for the new edition. Written in conjunction with the Oxford Textbook of Endocrinology and Diabetes, it covers clinical investigation and management of both common and rare conditions, and includes the protocols and explicit clinical information necessary for the management of individual patients with endocrine and diabetic disorders. The second edition includes new chapters on endocrine replacement therapies, complementary therapies and chronic fatigue, as well as the latest guidelines and information on new therapies.

Now in its third edition, the Oxford Textbook of Endocrinology and Diabetes is an up-to-date, objective and comprehensive text that covers the full scope of endocrinology and diabetes. It contains wide ranging and pragmatic advice on diagnosis and clear guidelines for recommended management, while also covering the scientific principles that underlie the medical practice in this important field. The book has been re-organised into 15 overarching sections, with new sections on Endocrinology of Pregnancy and Management of the Transgender Patient included. All other sections have been extensively updated and restructured. Each chapter is written by an internationally acknowledged expert, relates basic science to evidence based guidelines and clinical management, and where appropriate offers an outline of the controversies in the subject. The textbook has an international focus and deals with subject matter applicable across the globe. The new edition has over 800 images complementing the extensive text and information provided. The book is a 'one-stop' text for trainees and consultants in Endocrinology and Diabetes, residents, those preparing for sub-specialty exams and other professionals allied to the area who need to gain an understanding of the field. It acts as both a point of reference for the experienced consultant as well as a trusted training resource. Purchase of the print work also includes full access to the online edition of the textbook for the life of the edition.

The discipline of Endocrinology encompasses diabetes and obesity, two of the most common and pressing health care concerns today.

Key topics such as genetics, therapeutic agents, and results of major clinical trials are included, all in a compact and easily-navigable package.

This comprehensive overview of diabetes care compiles evidence, information and guidance on the area, and offers guidance on the complex patient-centred, physiological, psychological and psychosocial challenges nurses are faced with. It explains practical skills using a case study approach.
