A-Z of Medical Writing

Do you have to write papers, chapters, grant applications, talks, CVs, books or obituaries? Do you find it an appalling prospect? Are you filled with horror at the thought of writing coherent sentences, to make coherent passages to convey coherent messages?

Tim Albert’s A-Z of Medical Writing is designed for you and everyone like you. With refreshing irony leavening his knowledge and wisdom, he succeeds in putting across all you need to know about the principles of good writing.

He debunks the fuddyduddyisms often passing for correct grammar, and he gives you sound ways of unblocking a blocked brain. His cross-referencing from one succinctly explained entry (review articles) to other related ideas (editorials, systematic reviews, scientific papers, evidence based writing, IMRAD) takes you effortlessly through the topic of your choice. His own concepts such as the law of late literals, the pub test, putting on the posh overcoat and post spelling bee traumatic disorder coin a new vocabulary.

Tim Albert draws on his experience of teaching courses to provide this unique guide for would-be medical authors. His own clear and simple writing style is a practical example of what he preaches' - from the publisher's blurb
