Horizons in Medicine

Horizons in Medicine is a series of books based on the major annual Advanced Medicine Conference organized by the Royal College of Physicians. Each volume contains carefully edited papers and texts of eponymous lectures given by eminent speakers from a range of specialities. The series makes an important contribution to the continuing medical education of all physicians, both consultants and those in training grades, by acquainting them with recent developments in the understanding and practice of modern clinical medicine.
