Summary

Pre-hospital or immediate care is an emerging specialty which deals with the care and treatment of victims of accidents and medical emergencies in any pre-hospital setting. This is an area of medicine where people may have a need for instant, on the spotguidance, but up until now there have only been traditional textbooks on the subject, rather than pocket guides for quick reference. However we are now pleased to announce the publication of this new book, from Matthew Cooke, offering instant guidance on the care and treatment of victims of accidents and medical emergencies outside a hospital setting, and on organisation and procedures in an emergency setting.
