Recensioner i media

"'[This book] fulfils a need for healthcare professionals who will encounter patients with ENT diseases. It should become a helpful addition to doctors in an ENT post but more specifically for individuals in A&E, nurse practitioners and for those involved in cross-cover for ENT. Although a basic textbook in the subject, it introduces the day-to-day practicalities that are essential to delivering ENT care by providing the requisite level of clinical knowledge and its attached science.' Ram Dhillon, in the Foreword"
