BMA is the trade union and professional body for doctors in the UK. Its annual BMA Medical Book Awards recognise outstanding contributions to medical literature. They honour book publications of exceptional content, production quality, and originality to encourage and reward excellence in medical publishing. Prizes are awarded in 20 categories.
HIV and Aging was 'Highly Commended' in the Medicine category of the 2017 BMA Medical Book Awards. The book focuses on HIV in older populations, a topic that has been generally neglected until recently. The editors Mark Brennan-Ing, New York, USA, and Rosanna F. DeMarco, Boston, USA, put HIV in the context of ageism with regard to prevention, treatment guidelines, funding, and the engagement of communities as well as health and social service organisations.
A 'Highly Commended' award in the category Internal Medicine went to Itch – Management in Clinical Practice, edited by Jacek C. Szepietowski, Wroclaw, Poland, and Elke Weisshaar, Heidelberg, Germany. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the management of chronic itch. Select authors describe interdisciplinary aspects as well as age, body region, and specific diseases as they present a great variety of available treatments.
In the category Paediatrics, the 'Highly Commended' prize was awarded to SickKids – Handbook of Pediatric Thrombosis and Hemostasis edited by Victor S. Blanchette, Toronto, Canada, Leonardo R. Brandão, Toronto, Canada, Vicky R. Breakey, Hamilton, Canada, and Shoshana Revel-Vilk, Jerusalem, Israel.

The chapters include practical information on the diagnosis and management of inherited and acquired bleeding disorders as well as all forms of thrombotic events that affect children.
