700 Essential Neurology Checklists,1st Edition

Book Description:

700 Essential Neurology Checklists is a collection of essential checklists which provide handy, practical, comprehensive, and evidence-based information on every aspect of neurology.

The checklists cover all aspects of neurology and its allied specialties, and they were developed to minimise error and boost clinical safety in the care of neurological patients. The lists included in the book apply to all aspects of neurology, a specialty noted for its size, diversity, and complexity, and they place emphasis on all aspects of neurological practice, from history and clinical examination to investigations and treatment. They also contain details of aetiology, epidemiology, genetics, and pathology. The information is primarily sourced from widely regarded neurology journals such as Neurology, Brain, the JNNP, Practical Neurology, and Journal of Neurology, and the emphasis is on evidence-based guidelines, review articles, ground-breaking studies, and relevant case reports.

The checklists in the book will be of benefit not only to neurologists and neurology trainees, but to all medical professionals including psychiatrists, neurosurgeons, paediatricians, general physicians, obstetricians, ophthalmologists, and specialist nurses. Purchasers of the book will also be eligible for a 12-month complimentary access to more than 3,500 online neurology checklists at www.neurochecklists.com
