I am delighted, and slightly humbled, to announce that the second edition of The Nearest Relative Handbook has been nominated for a BMA Book Award. It was published earlier this year and has already been highly commended in the popular medicine category. The book will now go forward to a formal awards ceremony, in London on September 8.
I am grateful, both to the BMA for considering the book and to my publisher, Jessica Kingsley, for putting it forward. I wanted it to be of help to patients and their carers as much as to professionals in the field, and this nomination suggests that it might have gone some way towards achieving that objective.
