Description
Doctors, midwives and other professionals entering the field of postnatal care frequently feel ill-prepared for the task, and a lack of accessible and relevant learning resources can leave learning on the job as the only realistic option. This combined book and DVD resource has been specifically created to provide an accessible guide to the clinical problems those new to postnatal care will face: what to do, how to counsel parents, and how to manage the most common scenarios. Demystifying the transition into the field, it provides practical solutions, and access to relevant background information through extensive references. The accompanying DVD explores specific areas though audiovisual presentations, including jaundice, hypoglycaemia, common issues in newborn examinations and neonatal management of antenatally-detected renal tract dilation. Created by experienced consultant neonatologists and senior trainees who deal regularly with the recurrent themes of day-to-day newborn care, this groundbreaking resource will be essential reading and viewing for all doctors, midwives, nurses and other health professionals new to the field.
