Symptom Sorter - Keith Hopcroft

Across its seven editions, Symptom Sorter has become the essential handbook for navigating symptoms in primary care. Unlike most clinical texts that focus on diagnoses, this trusted guide reflects the reality of patient presentations by focusing on symptoms—often vague, multiple or obscure—and providing practical tools to make sense of them.

Presenting a multitude of symptoms commonly encountered in primary care, each is meticulously analysed using the popular red flags, top tips and ready reckoner features that have characterised previous editions. This new edition builds on the success of its predecessors with significant updates and new content to meet the evolving needs of today’s healthcare professionals.

Key Features:

This revised and updated seventh edition remains an invaluable reference for general practitioners, especially GP trainers and registrars. It is also highly recommended for advanced nurse practitioners and pharmacists who are increasingly taking on first-contact roles in primary care and for emergency department nurses seeking a concise, easy-to-use diagnostic guide.
