Unofficial Guide to Medical Research, Audit and Teaching

"The books strengths are that it tackles three subjects with an abundance of published material in a succinct, informative and practical way. It is well written and well illustrated with good use of focused tables, checklists, boxes and 'top tip' take home messages. Its main strengths over and above all that is the fact that chapters can be read for specific purposes without the need to read the whole book...This is a very useful and well written book." BMA Book Awards 2015
