What They're Saying

Critics Review

Being a member of the superb Oxford Handbook series, I automatically assume this book will be very good and put very simply, it is very good and certainly lives up to its heritage. Dont be put off by the title handbook; this is a chunky but portable book that is full of useful information about the numerous tests we order on a daily as well as infrequent basis. The net result is a book that many of us would want to own and a book in the right hands is likely to be used often. * Dr Harry Brown, Glycosmedia *
From the Foreword:“Its size, scope and relevance mean that it is likely to be used daily as a quick reference and aide-memoire…No medical student or junior doctor should be without this book (it’s ideal for revision), in fact any doctor at any stage of their career will find it useful.” * Suzy Lishman, President of The Royal College of Pathologists, 2018 *
