Pre-publication review - "The content of this book seems ideal as a recommended text for any course...Reading this work would undoubtedly be beneficial for future careers" - PRHO, James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough. |
| Editorial Review | This book is less hefty than many ethics texts, in that the pages are more than usually broken up with tables and diagrams. This makes it more appealing to the reader and easier for quick reference for MCQ revision, rather than essay writing. I would definitely recommend it. -Black Bag. Bristol Medical School Magazine. Winter 2005 |
