An Introduction to Radiation Protection is a highly readable account of the nature of the hazards presented by ionizing radiation and the methods of protection for those new to the field and for the non-specialist.

The sixth edition of this established text takes readers through the general background of the subject, the technical principles underlying the control of radiation hazards, radiation detection and measurement, and the biological effects of radiation. These principles are followed by a consideration of radiation protection issues in the nuclear industry, the non-nuclear sector, and the medical field. Further specialised topics include risk assessment, waste management and decommissioning, radiological incidents and emergencies, relevant legislation, and organizational issues.

Supplemented by clear diagrams and photographs, summary sections, and revision questions, the book is suitable for the beginner as well as the more advanced radiation practitioner. It remains an ideal primer for those working in the nuclear industry, nuclear medicine technicians, radiographers and medical physics technicians, health and safety executives and occupational health professionals. It is also an invaluable companion for anyone training or undertaking a course in radiation protection.

Reflecting current practice, the book does not seek to reiterate the content of a general medical textbook, but instead teaches the fundamental principles of general practice. The coverage is comprehensive, with everything the undergraduate student or foundation doctor will encounter in a general practice module or rotation. The skills and knowledge presented can usefully be applied to all areas of clinical practice.

With practical exercises throughout the book, readers are encouraged to learn through doing. Quotes from students and tutors offer insights into personal experience, while thinking and discussion points encourage reflection. New features in this edition include improved organization, “red flag” pointers to serious illnesses, and SBA-style self assessment questions.

With content entirely updated to reflect the latest recommendations from Tomorrow's Doctors, the third edition of A Textbook of General Practice is the number one choice for undergraduates seeking a narrative introduction to this important discipline.

100 CASES SERIES Series Editor: P. John Rees Dean of Medical Undergraduate Education, King’s College London School of Medicine at Guy’s, King’s College and St Thomas’ Hospitals, London, UK

Making clinical decisions and choosing the best course of action is one of the most challenging and difficult parts of training to become a doctor. The 100 Cases Series provides a unique learning tool that guides students and junior clinicians through clinical cases, imitating those that they are likely to meet on the wards, in accident and emergency and outpatient departments, and in general practice. These cases will teach students and junior doctors to recognise important signs and symptoms—and, where appropriate, their relationship to other medical conditions—and to develop their diagnostic and management skills.

Features:

100 Cases in Acute Medicine

• Supplies 100 succinct and realistic case studies in a user-friendly format, describing patient histories and examinations

Praise for the series: “A rich resource for medical students, practising doctors and their teachers, which employs a wide range of clinical cases to introduce the reader to the central theories and principles of medical ethics and law.”

—Dr. Richard Huxtable, Senior Lecturer, Deputy Director, Centre for Ethics in Medicine, University of Bristol, UK (about 100 Cases in Clinical Ethics and Law)

“I would definitely recommend this book as a revision guide … There is a lot of information packed into just 100 cases, but it’s done extremely well.”

—Fourth year medical student, Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, London, UK (about 100 Cases in Clinical Medicine, Second Edition)

“The case-based structure grabs the reader's attention and questions prompt the reader to think about and engage in each scenario ... It encompasses a very wide range of different conditions and also gives good insight into the wider role of the general practitioner beyond just medical management.”
