This book, the companion to Pocket Paediatrics, provides essential information for the junior doctor and paediatric trainee in caring for newborn babies. The management of both emergency and routine clinical problems, as well as basic information on neonatal care, are accommodated within this small book. The approach is didactic and practical and allows quick access to information. Unlike its competitors, this book has a truly pocket-size format that makes it an invaluable aide memoire for use on the wards.
