Synopsis
An exciting new addition to the Oxford Handbook Series, the Oxford Handbook of Paediatrics provides a compact guide to all aspects of acute and chronic paediatrics. The Handbook’s team of specialist contributors and editors have successfully condensed many years of clinical experience into a pocket-sized compendium of clinical problems and treatment options. Taking a ‘child-centred’ approach to the subject, the authors have provided comprehensive coverage of areas such as neonatology, surgery, genetics and congenital malformations and child protection in a user-friendly and succinct style. Sections are also devoted to covering the treatment of children in the community, and the psychological effects of illness on both the child and their family. With practical advice and space for personalised notes, this handbook will be invaluable to all those involved in the care of the younger patient. A ‘must have’ resource at all stages of training and in various clinical practice settings.

Preface
The first ‘boke’ of pediatrics printed in English was written by Thomas Phaire (1510-1560), a man from East Anglia who studied medicine at the University of Oxford. The book had 56 pages, measured 3 7/8 inches (9.8 cm) by 2 5/8 inches (6.7 cm) and was covered. . . innumerable passions and diseases, so that the body of man is subject, and in addition, in general, the tender age of children is irritated and greedy with these diseases.
Costume of the brain, swelling of the head. . . ‘ 1 In 1553, the “innumerable passions and diseases” reached 39 presenting clinical problems. As doctors, we met and worked for the first time in the heart of East Anglia (University of Cambridge) and now we have collaborated with Oxford University Press in this company, a new pediatric handbook. Our similarity with Thomas Phaire has not escaped us, especially because we see the importance of basing a text on common clinical problems that arise.
Our main goal is to provide a compact source of information and clinical thinking that can be used in the clinic or hospital ward, at a time when the child is being seen. The challenge, therefore, was to distill the content of the information found in several textbooks into a conveniently sized manual without the loss of important information.
We easily reached the limit in the pages they gave us, so we had to be strict in the selection of key facts crucial for clinical practice. Our intention is that the manual is used from the beginning of education in pediatrics to the general superior training in the field.
We have maintained the tradition of providing content and text that often exceed what is required by the generalist; We believe it is important that students and readers see the full picture. There are spaces where you can add more conference notes, other readings, and personal experiences.
This is destined. It means that the manual can be personal, develop it with you and use it in any practice you choose: hospitalist, generalist, or community and family practice. Above all, we hope that the manual will give you the confidence to handle pediatric clinical problems effectively and safely.
