Description
The Complementary Therapist's Guide to Red Flags and Referrals by Clare Stephenson provides an essential reference for therapists working alongside conventional medical practitioners. This guide helps practitioners identify 'red flag' symptoms that require prompt investigation and treatment, ensuring patient safety. Therapists can benefit from this easily accessible resource, which offers guidance on responding to clinical signs of disease through routine history taking and basic examination. The book also provides clear advice on when to refer patients to conventional medicine practitioners and how to communicate with doctors during referrals. Clinical syndromes that merit rapid response are summarised for ease of reference, making it a valuable tool for therapists seeking to enhance their knowledge and practice.
