From the review in GP Magazine, November 2013:
"This has been a helpful addition to the practice library because it is specifically targeted to general practice in the UK.... I would highly recommend this book to GP colleagues as well as GP trainees. It is well written, with broad coverage of its subject. The illustrations are excellent."
