Clinic Handbook: Cardiology provides guidelines on the set up and effective administration of a hospital outpatient clinic and support services. It reviews common clinical problems encountered in the clinic, with recommendations for investigations, treatment, referral, hospitalisation and follow-up.
This accessible handbook describes the roles of all members of the clinic team and their support staff, with recommendations for effective liaison within and between hospital departments, and with off-site personnel such as GPs, health visitors and staff in community health centres and social services.
