When a text such as Pocket Consultant: Occupational Health has survived over
six iterations, the authorship has most likely changed. This is certainly the case
here: the first version was authored by Malcolm Harington and Frank Gill – with
just Malcolm Harrington remaining in this the sixth edition. What has enabled
this book to be (hopefully) so comprehensive and coherent yet retain its ‘pocket
consultant’ format is that every edition has been written by colleagues in the
same academic department. However, it is with deep sadness we report that,
since the fifth edition (2006) was published, both Frank Gill and Tar Ching Aw
have passed away – it is to them that this book is dedicated.
With deliberate intent, it was decided to utilise the profound knowledge andexperience of some of our friends and colleagues from further afield geographically
to make the text less parochially British and reflect a more global perspective.
In addition, there have been significant developments in various aspects of
occupational health, and the structure and content of the book have been chosen
to reflect this, particularly the new chapters on clinical evaluations, control
banding, tertiary prevention and the legal and ethical aspects of occupational
health. The chapter on special issues has also been expanded greatly.
We hope that you enjoy and learn from this text as much as we have had funwriting it – and, ultimately, that it resides as a fitting testament to Frank and
Ching.
