This book is a comprehensive text on all the aspects of General Practice computing, including the use of the Internet. The style is straightforward and unambiguous, stresses fundamental principles and does not assume a great deal of prior knowledge. The presentation of this new edition is much improved with a clearer layout and more frequent use of illustrations, in particular, screen shots.
