The first three sections provide an integrated core text covering material that every trainee needs to know and understand, while the fourth section is a multi-author review of more specialized topics. Contributions are drawn from experts in the UK, Europe, the USA and Australasia, so presenting the best of current opinion and practice worldwide.
