Critics Review
Each chapter is succinct enough to provide an excellent overview of evidence and a platform for further reading. I have come away with a list of papers that I wish to read, and the book has challenged some of my understandings of clinical practice, service development and research. The book moves geriatric medicine beyond Isaacâs âgiantsâ and âsimply caring for the elderlyâ, into a complex and subtle specialty, backed by a wealth of evidence. * British Geriatrics Society *This is a unique and clearly an important addition to the overall knowledge and understanding of geriatric medicine. It is a significant addition for every academic library. * Doody’s Notes *
