It includes expanded sections on drug therapeutics and a focus on 'new mode of action' drugs across the spectrum of Rheumatological Conditions. And now with more detailed indexing and cross-referencing, this edition continues to build on the strengths of the previous editions, while remaining up-to-date, accessible, and useful for the busy clinician.

Practically structured, the handbook focuses first on presenting symptoms and then considers key diseases, emergencies, and rare diseases in detail. There is a comprehensive and updated account of assessment, guidelines, and treatment options. Taking a clinical, evidence-based approach, written by experts, and presented in a clear, practical, bullet-point style for rapid reference, this handbook will be your constant companion and a joy to use.

Review from previous edition This book is very well written, clear and aimed at junior doctors ... Its clarity and conciseness are major strengths. * BMA reviewing panel, BMA Medical Book Awards 2019 * This is an excellent handbook of rheumatology and although it is handbook sized, it packs a big punch.
