The Making Sense of series covers a variety of medical topics and subjects allied to medicine. Some of them are practical and technique-based, some provide professional advice, and some relate to professional development. All titles are easy to navigate for quick reference and include plenty of features such as 'summary boxes', 'pearls of wisdom', and 'clinical considerations’. Easy to understand, written in a jargon-free style, and convenient for carrying around, the Making Sense of series provides hands-on guidance to be referred to often in both clinical and reference contexts.
