Welcome to the latest edition of Essential Endocrinology & Diabetes. We are delighted that the previous edition was so well received around the world, selling over 5600 copies. The book also had the dubious honour of being the most frequently stolen book from the University of Southampton medical school library suggesting that the medical students, in Southampton at least, found it a useful accompaniment to their endocrinology and diabetes course. However, it is time for an update and a refresh that captures the latest research, clinical guidelines, investigational modalities and therapies. We hope you enjoy the new content.

The textbook aims to be valued by different groups of reader. Its core purpose is still to provide a foundation from understanding the science to clinical training in undergraduate medicine. In addition, the content here should also be invaluable for postgraduate clinicians training in the speciality of endocrinology and diabetes. Written ‘exit’ examinations have become increasingly common during the later stages of clinical speciality training and we hope our textbook provides complementary study material alongside larger reference textbooks and published clinical guidelines. From feedback, we realise that our book has been valued by biomedical undergraduate and masters students and by those pursuing clinical biochemistry. We hope the new content increases this reach across different audiences. Learning objectives, recap points, cross‐referencing guides, boxes, and concluding key points help orientate the reader and emphasize the major topics.
