Rezension

"...it would make an excellent addition to any nursing library or resource for a ward or community team.
"The study of elderly medicine impacts on a large number of disciplines and of course it is a speciality in its own right. So it is very useful to have access to a good textbook to help a user explore this subject and act as a good reference source. So does this book fit the bill? Well the answer is a definite yes as it is an excellent all round textbook." -Dr.
