Essential Neonatal Medicine 5/e

Essential Neonatal Medicine,5/e




Essential Neonatal Medicine combines the depth and breadth of a textbook with the clarity and efficiency of a learning
consolidator. Providing a solid reference for trainee doctors, neonatal nurses and midwives, this full colour edition
has been extensively updated with a range of new illustrations, clinical tips, cross-references to Wiley title Nursing
the Neonate (2010, 9781405149747), and end-of-chapter summaries for quick study or revision.



Essential Neonatal Medicine is ideal for all trainee health professionals experiencing neonatology for the first time
and looking for a readable and comprehensive resource to support them. It is now accompanied by the enhanced Wiley
Desktop Edition (the interactive digital version of the book featuring downloadable text and images, highlighting and
note-taking facilities, book-marking, cross-referencing, in-text searching, and linking to references and glossary
terms), and a companion website at www.essentialneonatalmed.com featuring figures from the book to download in
PowerPoint, further reading, and self-test questions for each chapter.
