Copertina de W. Henry Smithson & Matthew C. Walker: ABC of Epilepsy (PDF)
ABC of Epilepsy provides a practical guide for general
practitioners, and all those working in primary care, on the
diagnosis, treatment and management of epilepsy, and for the
continued monitoring and long term support of what is still a
relatively poorly understood neurological disorder.

This brand new title in the ABC series is highly
illustrated throughout and presents what epilepsy is, its
classification, and how to diagnose it. It covers anti-epileptic
drugs and non-drug treatments, as well as self-management and
living with epilepsy.

Edited by a general practitioner and neurologist team, the
ABC of Epilepsy reflects current NICE guidelines and is
ideal for all GPs, primary health care professionals, practice
nurses and specialist nurses, and non-specialist medical staff who
play an increasing role in monitoring and managing of epilepsy
patients.
