As a junior doctor starting a surgery or urology rotation, you are expected to take charge of referrals from - and give specialist advice to - A&E, GPs, and other specialties. Often, you will have had very limited surgical experience and only an off-site registrar for support.

This pocket-sized book, Take Charge! General Surgery and Urology, provides a quick, reliable reference guide for the initial management of common surgical referrals. It offers guidance on which complaints require admission and which can be sent home for outpatient or GP follow-up.

It will help relieve the stressful experience of being on-call, alleviating some of the anxiety and making shifts more bearable.
