New to this Edition

A new editorial team have radically revised the contents and format of this Fourteenth Edition.
Several new chapters have been created as a result of a radical revision of the order and approach of the book. These include a chapter on patients with mental illness; a chapter on examining the frail elderly; a chapter on the key issues to be considered when examining a deteriorating patient; and a new chapter on preparing for clinical practice.
The structure of the text has been rationalised with a more balanced use of boxes, tables and figures to set out the concepts more clearly.
