Informa Healthcare Titles Win First Prize at BMA Book Awards
On September 25, 2009, two books published by Informa Healthcare have won top honours at this year’s the BMA Medical Book Competition, the medical publishing industry’s most prestigious and sought after prizes.
New York, NY, October 04, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Dr. Eduardo E. Benarroch’s Mayo Clinic Medical Neurosciences: Organized by Neurologic Systems and Levels won first prize in the Neurology category, while Dr. Graham Colver’s Outcomes of Skin Surgery: A Concise Visual Aid won first prize in the Dermatology category, triumphing over top competition names on the shortlist.
“We are delighted with these awards from the highly respected BMA Medical Book Competition,” says Lindsey Roberts, CEO at Informa Business Information. “Winning top honours and commendations in four categories is testament to the relevance of our library of titles as well as to the dedication and talent of our authors, editors and publishers.”
The BMA Board’s criteria for the competition are that the content is current and accurate, that it is presented in a manner and at a level appropriate to the intended readership, and that the book is an attractive and durable production.
Mayo Clinic Medical Neurosciences aims to set a new standard for excellence in introductory medical neuroscience education. The authors utilize unique skill-building methods that facilitate learning through problem solving, while keeping students engaged and focused.
“This is a refined, very informative, and easily readable text. I liked the clarity of the writing and illustrations. It was a good balance of information and detail,” says Dr Morrison, Neurologist from the BMA Awards Programme. “I very much liked this text - it is the highlight of the BMA Medical Books competition for me this year. I will use this as a clinical neurologist, and I will encourage my colleagues to do the same.”
“The fact that this book is written by physicians at the Mayo Clinic – one of the most recognized and influential medical institutions in the world – and also that it has been recognized by leaders in its field as a stand-out publication would be enough to ensure pride of place in Informa’s catalogue,” explains Lindsey. “Winning the BMA Medical Books Award makes it very special, indeed.”
Outcomes of Skin Surgery takes a major leap forward in establishing a realistic basis for the decision-making process during a consultation, highlighting a range of procedures as well as the pros and cons of different dermatological operations. It has been cleverly designed to provide both doctors and patients with illustrated examples and the material they need to facilitate well-informed patient choice.
In addition, two other Informa books were highly commended by the BMA Board. Drs. Rosemary A. Walker and Alistair M. Thompson’s Prognostic and Predictive Factors in Breast Cancer, Second Edition, was cited as highly commended in the Oncology category, while Drs. George A. Bray and Claude Bouchard’s Handbook of Obesity: Clinical Applications, Third Edition was highly commended in the Endocrinology category.
