Description
"Rapid Reference to Alzheimer's Disease" will provide the reader with authoritative and accessible information from a clinical expert in the field, to assist with treatment decisions. 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. With patients becoming better informed about the nature and management of their conditions, "Rapid Reference" is a timely new series that offers GPs easy access to the best information for patient care and management.
