Well-defined chapters
The guide is divided into three well-defined sections: signs and symptoms, investigations and diseases.

The investigations chapter provides accessible information on all of the tests you might need to request and guidance on interpreting their results.
The diseases chapter is an invaluable resource outlining clinical features, investigations and management of diseases, genetic conditions and syndromes seen in daily practice.
Clinical tools
There is a useful list of abbreviations and acronyms at the beginning of the book and the appendices include clinical tools, such as useful algorithms and scores, ECGs, a section on emergencies, for example life-support algorithms, and a palliative care section.
