Kumar And Clark’s Clinical Medicine, 8th Edition

Kumar & Clark’s Clinical Medicine 8 builds on the prize-winning formula that won the first prize in the BMA Book Awards Medicine Category in 2010 (7th edition) and 2006 (6th edition).

‘This book is comprehensive, student-friendly (if still intimidating in size!), and covers such a vast breadth of knowledge. It still remains the primary’must-have’ text book of any budding doctor, or qualified one at that. This book is stunning in its breadth and in its ease of use. It still remains as the ‘gold-standard’ thorough guide to clinical medicine its forefathers were.’ BMA Judges 2010

‘This is one of a select few books that deserves to be in most doctors’ personal possession and it’s as simple as that. …’ Dr. Harry Brown.
