The New Books List for November is now ready with titles ranging across a wide spectrum. We have purchased the new edition of the Oxford handbook of nutrition and dietetics as well as the 18th edition of Smith and Tanagho's general urology. We have also acquired titles on radiology such as Chest x-rays for medical students and Primer of diagnostic imaging.

Surgical titles include Handbook of surgical consent by R Nair and How to operate: for MRCS candidates and other surgical trainees by M Stephenson which contains three DVDs covering 10 hours of introduction to each procedure. Nurses will be interested in Becoming a registered nurse: making the transition to practice by J Temple and An introduction to evidence-based practise in nursing and healthcare by A Poole.

Feel free to recommend titles for us to add to our stock and if all you need is a novel, don't forget our General Reads shelves.
