There are some major differences in this edition, reflecting the general changes in style and practice of clinical medicine and recent important and relevant scientific advances. New chapters have been added on The principles of evidence based paediatrics, Ambulatory paediatrics, Adolescent medicine and Terminal care and pain management; despite this, the edition is the same length as the last edition. The key information in each chapter will be highlighted in Key Fact boxes for easy review. In addition, the increasing importance of evidence-based practice in paediatrics is reflected in the text - all authors have focussed on the evidence base for their subject area and have highlighted areas where future work may be required to delineate the evidence base and develop clinical guidelines.
