Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Highly Commended in the Medicine category at the BMA Book Awards
This brand new edition has been fully updated to ensure it remains an invaluable guide for trainees, consultant geriatricians, medical students, and everyone caring for older patients. The handbook has been refreshed throughout to reflect the latest advances in geriatric medicine, as well as changes in working practices and environments.
It provides a succinct, targeted approach to the field and covers significant developments including a new chapter on Frailty, Covid and its impact, delirium screening, evolution of the Geriatrician's role, Deprivation of Liberty and Liberty Protection Safeguards, and changing models of care with rapid assessment in the emergency ward.
Using clinical vignettes and how-to boxes to provide practical advice on common problems, this is a relevant, accessible, and essential resource for all medical staff. Taking a clinical, evidence-based approach, written by experts, and presented in a clear, practical, bullet-point style for rapid reference, this handbook will be a friendly, experienced, and knowledgeable companion at your side.
The book gives a very good overview of the main and most common areas of elderly care ... it has a really good, user-friendly layout and covers a wide range of conditions in a simplified way.
