Nocton & Gedeit’s On Call Paediatrics will provide a quick and practical guide for medical students and JMOs whose exposure to acute paediatric issues is limited. The book approaches a broad range of paediatric problems supported by clinical skills and steps to consider when approaching problems. The book will follow the format of On Call using techniques such as the “telephone call”, “thoughts”, “life threatening problems”, “bedside”, “acute corridor consult” etc as essentials for effective clinical troubleshooting.
