Well over 2.5 million copies of Davidson’s Principles and Practice of Medicine have been sold since it was first published in 1952. Now in its 25th Edition, Davidson’s is regarded as a ‘must-have’ textbook for thousands of medical students, doctors and health professionals across the world, describing the pathophysiology, clinical features, investigation and management of the most important conditions encountered in the major specialties of adult medicine. The book is the winner of numerous awards and has been translated into many languages. Taking its origins from Sir Stanley Davidson’s much-admired lecture notes, the book has endured because it continues to keep pace with how modern medicine is taught and to provide a wealth of information in an easy-to-read, concise and beautifully illustrated format. Davidson’s strives to ensure that readers can not only recognise the clinical features of a disease, but also understand the underlying causes. To achieve this, each chapter begins with a summary of the relevant pre-clinical science, linking pathophysiology with clinical presentation and treatment so that students can use the book from the start of their medical studies right through to their final examinations and beyond. The regular introduction of new authors and editors is important for maintaining freshness. For the 25th Edition, we are delighted to welcome Professor Neeraj (‘Bean’) Dhaun and Dr Rebecca Sutherland as new Editors. Bean and Becky bring a wealth of clinical and academic experience to the team. We also warmly welcome Professor Dilip Patel to the new role of Imaging Editor. Fifteen new authors (Thomas Chambers, Thushan de Silva, Baljean Dhillon, Tony Duffy, Charlotte Fleury, Mohammed Khan, Anna Kyle, Barry Laird, Nazir Lone, Francesca Moroni, Thomas Russ, Anoop Shah, Paul Steptoe, Colin Stirrat and Shereen Tadros) have joined our existing contributors to make up an outstanding team of authorities in their respective fields. As well as recruiting authors from around the globe, particularly for topics such as infectious diseases, HIV and envenomation, we are delighted to have representatives from 14 countries on our International Advisory Board. These leading experts provide detailed comments that are crucial to our revision of each new edition. We welcome new members of our International Advisory Board (ABM Abdullah, Viswanathan Neelakantan and Jacek Rozanski), who have given us valuable advice as we prepared this new edition. A particularly important aspect in planning the revision is for the editors to meet students, resident doctors and faculty in medical schools in those countries where the book is most widely read, so that we can respond to the feedback of our global readership and their tutors. We use this feedback, along with the information we gather via detailed student reviews and surveys, to craft each edition. The authors, editors and publishing team aim to ensure that readers all over the world are best served by a book that integrates medical science with clinical medicine to convey key knowledge and practical advice in an accessible and readable format. The amount of detail is tailored to the needs of medical students working towards their final examinations and medical licensing assessments, as well as resident doctors preparing for Membership of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom (MRCP UK) or its equivalents. For this edition, we have introduced many other changes in both structure and content. The opening nine chapters provide an account of the principles of genetics, immunology, nutrition, population health, infectious diseases, oncology and pain management, along with a discussion of the core principles behind clinical decision-making and good prescribing. Subsequent chapters discuss medical emergencies in poisoning, envenomation and medicine in austere environments, while common presentations in acute medicine, including recognition and management of the critically ill patient, are also addressed. The disease- specific chapters that follow cover the major medical specialties, each one thoroughly revised and updated to ensure that readers have access to the ‘cutting edge’ of medical knowledge and practice. We have incorporated stroke medicine into the neurology chapter and HIV/ AIDS into the infectious diseases chapter to allow these major areas of medicine to be integrated fully with their main specialities. Radiology images have been extensively updated and improved, under the auspices of our new Imaging Editor. The highly popular ‘Clinical Examination’ overviews have been extended and updated. The ‘Presenting Problems’ sections continue to provide an invaluable overview of the most common presentations in each disease area. The ‘Emergency’ and ‘Practice Point’ boxes have been retained along with the ‘In Old Age’, ‘In Pregnancy’ and ‘In Adolescence’ boxes, which emphasise key practical points in the presentation and management of the older adult, women with medical disorders who are pregnant or planning pregnancy, and adolescents transitioning between paediatric and adult services. Education is achieved by assimilating information from many sources, and readers of this book can enhance their learning experience by using several complementary resources. We developed a self-testing companion book entitled Davidson’s Assessment in Medicine, containing over 1250 multiple choice questions specifically tailored to the contents of Davidson’s for the 23rd edition and have added more new online MCQs to accompany this 25th edition. The long-standing association of Davidson’s with its sister books, Macleod’s Clinical Examination and Principles and Practice of Surgery, still holds good. Our ‘family’ has also expanded with the publication of Davidson’s Essentials of Medicine, a pocket-sized version of the main text, now in its 3rd edition; and Macleod’s Clinical Diagnosis, which describes a systematic approach to the differential diagnosis of symptoms and signs. We congratulate the editors and authors of these books for continuing the tradition of easily digested and expertly illustrated texts. We all take immense pride in continuing the great tradition first established by Sir Stanley Davidson and in producing an outstanding book for the next generation of doctors.
