Therapists increasingly find themselves working alongside conventionally trained doctors and nurses and it is vital for them to understand conventional medical diagnoses, symptoms and treatments and, crucially, to recognise warning signs of serious disease. This is essential in order to be a safe practitioner.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eClare Stephenson’s \u003ci\u003eThe Complementary Therapist’s Guide to Red Flags and Referrals \u003c\/i\u003emeets this need by providing an easily accessible reference to ‘red flag’symptoms, designed especially for therapists. It offers guidance on how best to respond to those symptoms and signs of disease which can be readily discerned through routine history taking and basic examination of the body. The guidance is in language which is accessible to therapists, and clear advice is offered on when to refer patients to conventional medicine practitioners and how to communicate with doctors when making a referral. Clinical syndromes which merit rapid response are summarised for ease of reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Complementary medicine [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Complementary medicine\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Complementary%20medicine%20%5BMX%5D%22\"\u003eMX\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Churchill Livingstone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648104648984,"sku":"9780702047664","price":25.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780702047664.jpg?v=1694088316","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-complementary-therapists-guide-to-red-flags-and-referrals-paperback-9780702047664","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
