It is published in the belief that it is correct, and we endeavour to keep it so - but we do make mistakes. Furthermore, over some subjects there are differing opinions, or differing degrees of certainty. We have usually not attempted to discuss these here because the aim has been to provide an immediate and brief guide. In all areas, prior medical knowledge is assumed. The EdRenHANDBOOK is not suitable for use by those without such a background.
