Critics Review
“Importantly, this book moves far beyond the few basic tests to a comprehensive suite of investigations to match the reader’s location and needs… for those with a keen interest in the topic, this comprehensive book may prove to be a cornerstone in the maturation of this important component of clinical practice.”
Professor Stephen A Margolis, Australian Family Physician, December 2016
“For those new to using or planning a PoCT service, the information and experiences outlined in here would be invaluable. Equally it would be valuable to those considering expanding an existing service into new areas… I would recommend this book to anyone either working or considering working the PoCT area. It has a broad based appeal making it suitable for medical, nursing, and scientists at both under and post graduate level. It should be compulsory reading for all med lab science students.”
Cameron Martin, Australian Journal of Medical Science 38(2), May 2017
“Prof. Shephard and the other contributors have provided us with a comprehensive review of near patient testing that will be found to be relevant by both the novice and those experienced in POCT management alike.”
