 Let down by a shoddy index September 26, 2008
I am a great fan of the Oxford Handbook series, although the OCHM is a difficult act to follow. I am sure the content of the OHP is good, if you can find it. I have to agree with a previous reviewer about the poor indexing of this book. Look for 'reflexes' in the index and you'll be directed to a page about the patellar reflex, but not the primitive reflexes (there's a separate entry for them). There are many other instances where something has not been in the index but I have eventually found it in the book by leafing through the pages. Improve the index and this would be a good book. I am surprised that the UK Growth charts, or at least and example of them (apart from the BMI one) were not in the book. Maybe they are and I just haven't been able to find them yet.
 Excellent Text August 18, 2008
This book continues the excellent tradition maintained by the Oxford Handbook series. The book is clearly set out and presents the information in a clear succinct form. I feel this is a must have book for anyone working within paediatrics and offers a text which can be referred to while on-call. It will also be relevant to those preparing for postgraduate examinations.
 Useless indexing June 16, 2008

As a paediatric SHO with little experience I expected this book to become a useful handbook similar to the Medicine one in adults (used it intensively from the day I started as an FY1). Sadly I was disappointed... the index is so poorly designed that to find something you need to either have read the book at least once before or work from the detailed contents in the front. Which makes the whole idea of quick access to information impossible at all. Just yesterday's example - you won't find 'ophthalmia neonatorum' but you will find 'ophthalmological opinion' directing you to genetic testing in cognitive impairment. Now, how is that helpful????
