Medical Books
Blackwell's Newcastle Bookshop, typical of other large Blackwell's shops, boasts an excellent medical books range, with strong sales of Anatomy and Physiology and Clinical Medicine to undergraduate level. Our professional sales are reflective of the big departments in our local hospitals - so Oncology, Cardiology, Dermatology, Neurology, Dentistry, Radiology, Pathology, Paediatrics, Anaesthesia, Orthopaedics and Counselling.
Thanks to our ongoing work with the Universities of Northumbria and Teesside we are seeing an increase in interest in nursing books. We have strengthened and developed this area by widening the stock range.
Examination and subject revision books are well represented too, with a very good range of undergraduate, postgraduate and USMLE stock.
In all our business centres in the UK we are uniquely placed to offer excellent service because we work not only closely with local NHS departments and libraries, but also with our local universities via their medical and dentistry schools as well as medical societies and with the Deaneries.
Along with our huge selection of textbooks we keep an extensive range of medical non-book items, including charts, lab coats, stethoscopes, dissection kits, protective eyewear and we are the only stockist in Newcastle of the very popular nurses fob watches.
Blackwell's competitive pricing on all current essential undergraduate textbooks and revision books combined with second hand buy back and friendly, knowledgeable staff puts us well and truly ahead of our rivals.
