• Summary:Multi-disciplinary patient care is essential in the management of patients with rheumatic diseases, which are often chronic, potentially disabling, and multi-system conditions. Written by a general practitioner and a consultant, this book focuses on the management of the various rheumatic conditions with an emphasis on the ""shared care"" approach. That approach promotes the successful collaboration between primary and secondary care services. Specialists in rheumatic disorders and general practitioners will both learn much from this text.
