This win is a testimony to the hard work and expertise provided by the four section editors and hundreds of authors. We are delighted that the BMA recognized our work with this most gracious honor."

The newly revised edition follows and builds on the book's tradition of giving clear, understandable guidance to students on the core clinical skills, and it is excellent to see the BMA endorsing the continued value of such a text for today's students."

Suzanne BeDell, Managing Director for Elsevier's Global Education, Reference and Continuity group, thanked the many authors and Elsevier staff who contributed to this recognition.

"The BMA awards are an acknowledgement of the hard work and dedication of our authors and Elsevier staff to publish the highest quality written content for our professional readers," BeDell said. "Consistent themes in the BMA reviews are that our content exemplifies high quality production, illustrations, and images and includes the added value of the e-book and multimedia components – all significant points that raise us above our competitors."
