Highly Commended in the Respiratory Medicine category at the British Medical Association Book Awards 2008 Lecture Notes: Respiratory Medicine introduces the student to the principles of respiratory medicine and provides a comprehensive yet succinct account of the full range of respiratory diseases. Content includes a review of the anatomy and physiology relevant to the understanding of respiratory disease, information on history taking and examination and a detailed clinical section covering disorders and diseases of the respiratory system. Numerous radiological images and clinical scenarios make this a unique, patient-centred approach to the subject. In this seventh edition, the latest clinical guidelines and advances have been incorporated alongside new key-points boxes and a second colour, to make this a useful resource for medical students, junior doctors, respiratory nurse specialists, physiotherapists, respiratory technicians and physiologists seeking a summary of the clinical aspects of respiratory medicine.
