Patient Education

Patient Education
Patient Education

Empowers patients with accessible medical knowledge.

If you're in a healthcare profession or simply someone who seeks to better understand health conditions in a straightforward way, "Patient Education" could serve as an invaluable resource. Not only does it break down complex medical jargon into digestible information that you can share with patients or loved ones, but it's also a trusted tool refined over years and editions. With its focus on breadth and utility, you'll have access to a wealth of knowledge that empowers you to play an active role in managing health, both personally and professionally.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A Doody's Core Title for 2011! Patient Education is an essential aid for general practitioners and health, community and medical workers to educate their patients on common medical conditions. Unique in concept when it was first published in 1992, it is now one of the most popular patient education materials used by Australian GPs and has set the standard for patient education material in Australia. Written in simple, non-technical language, these practical information sheets can be given to patients by their GPs and health practitioners to help them understand and manage their medical conditions. Providing only essential information in a concise and user-friendly format, this book has proven to be an excellent educational tool for patients. Each condition is presented on one page so it can be easily photocopied and distributed to patients. The book covers a broad cross-section of ailments, ranging from bow legs and snoring, to issues such as COPD, hypertension and child immunisations. Now in its fifth edition, this highly practical medical title has been thoroughly updated and revised. It includes 51 new conditions, making this a comprehensive collection of over 300 conditions GPs treat across the lifespan. This includes both medical and topical social issues such as breastfeeding, postnatal depression, meningococcal meningitis, prostate problems, osteoarthritis, hypertension, and anxiety.
