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.

Short description:
The Oxford Textbook of Primary Medical Care, now available in paperback, is the first truly international textbook of primary care. It covers the entire range of organisational, academic, and clinical activities associated with this most common form of medical practice. The editors represent a breadth of clinical and senior academic experience from Europe and North America and have selected the widest possible geographical spectrum of expert contributors.
MoreLong description:
The Oxford Textbook of Primary Medical Care is arranged in two volumes for ease of reference, offering you two very different reference resources.
Volume 1 - Principles and Concepts
Volume 1 is a unique and exhaustive guide to the theory and principles underpinning primary care, including:
* doctor-patient interaction
* practice management
* the public health role of the primary care team
* health care systems throughout the world
* ensuring and enhancing quality of care
This volume emphasises the wide range of disciplines involved in primary care, covering medical sociology, health psychology, epidemiology, and the principles of organisational management, and providing concise, detailed sections on research, education, and ethics and law.
Volume 2 - Clinical Management
In Volume 2, more than 200 chapters form a comprehensive clinical textbook on medical problems commonly seen in general practice worldwide. Here you will find detailed evidence-based guidance on diagnosis, investigation, and management.
Because each section has been written by GPs and hospital specialists working in partnership, you can be confident that these accounts are not only authoritative, but also uniquely focused on the information most relevant to primary care.
Each chapter takes a broad perspective, assuring its relevance for physicians and health care systems at different levels of development, emphasising core clinical principles of diagnosis and management and considering the broader public health and health economics implications of each problem.
From the Foreword, by Professor Ian R McWhinney:
'Primary care physicians have to know where they are on the scale of the complementarities between organismic and mechanistic, uncertainty and precision, involvement and detachment, concrete and abstract, and the particular and the general publication of the Oxford Textbook of Primary Medical Care will, I hope, be a milestone in the development of primary care medicine.'
