Purchase options and add-ons

This new edition of the Oxford Handbook in Geriatric Medicine has been expanded and updated to reflect the substantial changes in clinical practice since the previous edition, including the Francis report and the impact on care for the older patient, the National Dementia Strategy and screening, and the evolution of the role of Geriatricians in other specialities. It includes new material on risk scoring management of TIA, and a new chapter on the older surgical patient.

With an ageing population, geriatric medicine is increasingly central to emergency and internal medicine in hospital settings and in general practice. Diseases are more common in the older person, and can be particularly difficult to assess and to treat effectively in a field that has limited evidence, yet makes up a substantial proportion of the work of most clinicians. Using clinical vignettes and how-to boxes to provide practical advice on common problems, this is a practical, accessible, and essential handbook for all medical staff who manage older patients.

First Impressions:

When I first received the Oxford Handbook of Geriatric Medicine, I was struck by its heft and substantial feel. Its quality was evident from the moment I held it. The cover design, with the iconic Oxford logo, conveyed a sense of trustworthiness and authority. The book appeared well-organized with clear section dividers, promising easy navigation.

Getting on with Using the Product:

As a caregiver for elderly family members, I found this handbook to be an invaluable resource. It covers a vast array of topics related to geriatric medicine, from common conditions to specialized geriatric assessments and ethical considerations. Here's how I got on with using it:

Pros:

Comprehensive Content: This handbook leaves no stone unturned when it comes to geriatric medicine. It provides in-depth information on a wide range of topics, making it a one-stop reference for healthcare professionals and caregivers.
Practical Guidance: What sets this handbook apart is its practicality. It doesn't just provide clinical information; it offers actionable advice on how to approach geriatric patients, manage their conditions, and address their unique needs.
Easy Reference: The well-organized structure, with clear headings and subheadings, makes it easy to quickly locate the information you need, whether you're looking up a drug dosage, assessment tool, or treatment guideline.
Cons:

Specialization: It's important to note that this handbook is primarily geared toward healthcare professionals. Some sections may contain highly technical language that could be challenging for non-medical caregivers to fully grasp.
In summary, the Oxford Handbook of Geriatric Medicine is a powerhouse of knowledge for those involved in the care of elderly individuals. It may be a bit hefty, but its comprehensive and practical content more than compensates for its size. As a caregiver, I found it to be an indispensable reference for understanding and addressing the unique healthcare needs of geriatric patients.
