• Disease management including commonly used medications with dosages, management algorithms and how to prevent complications
• How to manage special populations, ie, in pregnancy, children and the elderly
• The very latest evidence-based results, major society guidelines and key external sources to consult

In addition, the book comes with a companion website housing extra features such as case studies with related questions for self-assessment, key patient advice and ICD codes. Each guide also has its own mobile app available for purchase, allowing you rapid access to the key features wherever you may be.
