Two titles from the bestselling Oxford Handbook series are available together in this great value pack. Fully revised to reflect the new changes to the GP contract and the GP curriculum, this fourth edition of the best-selling Oxford Handbook of General Practice is a practical guide to all aspects of general practice; from vital clinical information, to valuable practical guidance from experienced GPs. This is the essential guide for all those working in general practice. Comprehensively covering everything a doctor needs to work in, or manage a GP practice, this handbook ensures readers are always up-to-date with the latest guidelines, the most recent protocols, and cutting-edge clinical information. With concise, bullet-point information the chapters are now colour-coded to ensure the reader can find vital emergency or clinical information without delay. Fully illustrated, and packed with even more figures, diagrams, management boxes, and tables to improve ease-of-reference, the reader will always have the vital information they need at their fingertips. Fully revised and updated for the third edition, the Oxford Handbook of Public Health Practice remains the first resort for all those working in this broad field. Structured to assist with practical tasks, translating evidence into policy, and providing concise summaries and real-world issues from across the globe, this literally provides a world of experience at your fingertips. Easy-to-use, concise and practical, it is structured into seven parts that focus on the vital areas of assessment, data and information, direct action, policy, health-care systems, personal effectiveness and organisational development. Reflecting recent advances, the most promising developments in practical public health are presented, as well as maintaining essential summaries of core disciplines. This handbook is designed to assist students and practitioners around the world, for improved management of disasters, epidemics, health behaviour, acute and chronic disease prevention, community and government action, environmental health, vulnerable populations, and more.

It can occupy a small bit of real estate on a desk or inside a bag...built to withstand a fair
amount of use-which this book deserves. I would say it is ideal for practicing GPS, GP registrars and practice burses and other primary health care professionals... this is for someone on the frontline who wants a friend to help them. This book is their friend. Review from previous edition Review from previous edition An outstanding and useful text, de rigeur for young registrars. * British Journal of General Practice * At less than one quarter of the price of a QOF point (GBP29.95), this book is excellent value for money and...it should be on the shelves of every Director of Public Health, or public health professional working within primary care organisations. * Public Health * The best book by a country mile. I'd definitely recommend it! * medicworld.co.uk * This is a book that demands to be used. It is well built for the job... The book is hugely and surprisingly comprehensive, covering vast tracts of areas of knowledge that GPs need to possess. Clinical and non clinical areas are amply covered in really good detail. The style is factual yet helpful and accessible and a simple scan of the relevant section is likely to help a GP manage a situation... For GP trainers like myself, this is an excellent source of tutorial
material. The clinical sections are just as good... it is a frontline recipe book for all GPs-busy or not so busy. Without doubt, in my mind this is the best available book for British general practice and it ideal for GP registrars, newly starting GPs, mid career GPs and GPs wanting to freshen up
their knowledge... there is little excuse not to buy it. * Dr Harry Brown * What a treat - 1,100 pages of condensed knowledge and wisdom on everything from the new contract to what to do for obstetric shock... this is an essential - and I mean essential - piece of kit. * The Sessional GP * A comprehensive guide to nearly everything. It is the yellow book equivalent for general practice. If you only buy one book, make sure it is this one. * British Medical Journal * Small yet perfectly formed! This book is small enough to fit into any bag, or a capacious pocket, yet covers almost anything (clinical, practical, administrative) that any doctor or undergraduate working in general practice needs to know...I am extremely pleased to have been able to use and review this book. I have no hesitation in recommending it to its target audience. * BMA Medical Book Award Panel 2006 * As a comfort blanket for the less experienced it remains unrivalled, but truly, it is a must-have book for all * British Journal of General Practice * This is an absolute gem of a book. I would not be without it for my general practice training...It is portable, comprehensive and relevant and the logical format covers practice management as well as medical conditions. * BMA Medical Book Competition 2010 * The book is thorough and comprehensive, yet easy to read and well written, illustrated by useful... figures and tables. It contains most of the medical information and knowledge you need for use in a general medical practice, both in day-to-day and emergency contexts. * Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association * AS A former hospital doctor, I have long considered the Oxford Handbook series, commonly found somewhere on the person of most junior doctors, as both a literal lifesaver and a practical, concise guide, helpful when you need a sensible and quick strategy to solve the problem at hand. In thrs vein, the third edition of the Oxford Handbook of Public Health Practice does not disappoint... Like many of the titles in the series, this book is both very readable and easy to
dip into to get information on a particular aspect of public health practice. I have no doubt that this book will provrde an accessible reference guide throughout my career in public health. * Public Health Today, June 2013 * Exactly what I needed and easy to understand and follow. Really relevant information and understandable. Covers all aspects of public. Highly recommend this book. * Amazon Review * Review from previous edition The editors of the Oxford handbook of Public Health Practice have achieved their aim. It is excellent value for money and is essential reading for new trainees and experienced practitioners of Public Health medicine alike... It must have become the must have public health book of the year... my congratulations on a superb book. * Public Health * The book contains a wealth of knowledge and practical advice directly or indirectly applicable to occupational health practice ... The book is easily read and well structured ... it is a user-friendly practical guide aimed at developing the skils and guiding the practice of public health professionals. To the occupational health audience, it forms a unique and immensely useful resource, especially for those practising at a strategic level. * Occupational Medicine * Any specialist in training is faced witht he ominous question-how do I do this? For the fully fledged practitioners it is often some time since they had to exercise certain skills, and faced with a new challenge need a reminder of how to approach it. To have an answer to this delivered by an eminent cast of experienced public health luminaries would be ideal, and it is this that this book delivers. * John Lucy, Public Health * Excellent chapters, clearly explained...informative, useful and practical...An essential book for anyone in public health or with a public health interest...continues to succinctly give the tools to be an effective public health practitioner to survive and succeed in these times...this book is the equivalent of the 'Public Health' Bible. * BMA Medical Book Competition * This fantastic little handbook has had a group of excellent editors over the previous two editions and this third edition sees four well-known and rather different public health advocates and practitioners take over the reins...For whom would I recommend this book? Just about everybody! All practitioners and students of public health without question. * Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health * For whom would I recommend this book? Just about everybody! All practitioners and students of public health without question ... My old copies of this book are scruffy and dog-eared and much loved. I can tell that in time this edition will be, too. * Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health * This is a useful core text for trainees in that it gives a succinct view on the key public health topics, issues and skills. It is also useful for established specialists... This fills an almost unique gap in the market as a quick guide and handbook to real-life public health practice. * BMA Book Awards 2014.
