Hunter's Diseases of Occupations

In the seven decades since its first publication, this award-winning text has remained the pre-eminent reference on diseases caused by work, universally recognised as the most authoritative source of information in the field. It remains an essential clinical resource, offering comprehensive coverage of a wide range of diverse topics from asbestos-related diseases, bioterrorism and major chemical incidents to employee wellness and working under the sea and at altitude, many of which are increasingly relevant in today’s occupational health landscape.

The Eleventh Edition of Hunter's Diseases of Occupations has been fully revised and updated under a new and expanded team of expert editors and international contributors. It provides practitioners considering an occupational cause for a patient's condition with comprehensive coverage of diagnosing and managing work-related diseases as they manifest across industrialised societies globally.

· Digital supplements plus bundled eBook for maximum flexibility and optimised search functionality

The Eleventh Edition remains an indispensable resource for occupational and public health physicians, general practitioners, occupational health and safety professionals, and researchers and academics in these fields, as well as lawyers, employment specialists and human resource advisors.
