Well over two million medical students, doctors and other health professionals around the globe have owned a copy of Davidson’s Principles and Practice of Medicine
since it was first published over 70 years ago. Now in its 24th
Edition, this thoroughly updated textbook describes the pathophysiology
and clinical features of the most frequently encountered conditions in
the major specialties of adult medicine, and explains how to recognise,
investigate, diagnose and manage them. Taking its origins from Sir
Stanley Davidson’s much-admired lecture notes, Davidson’s
has endured because it keeps pace with how modern medicine is taught and
provides a wealth of trusted information in an easy-to-read, concise
and beautifully illustrated format.

• Part 1 ‘Fundamentals of Medicine’ - provides an
  account of the principles of genetics, immunology, infectious diseases,
  population health, oncology and pain management, along with a discussion
  of the core principles behind clinical decision-making and good
  prescribing.








• Part 2 ‘Emergency and Critical Care Medicine’ - covers
  medical emergencies in poisoning, envenomation and medicine in austere
  environments, as well as common presentations in acute medicine and the
  recognition and management of the critically ill.








• Part 3 ‘Clinical Medicine’- covers the major medical
  specialties, each thoroughly revised and brought fully up to date. A new
  section on COVID-19 has been added and the impact of this infection is
  described throughout the book.
