Each title in the new "Rapid Reference" series provides standard core content (epidemiology - management/ therapy) combined with the additional information, such as FAQs and patient organisations, needed by the GP to provide effective patient care. They also include drugs listings, clinical trials, information on future developments and web site listings to keep the reader up to speed with new developments and to extend their knowledge of the disease area.
