Edited by Helen E. Turner, Consultant in Endocrinology, The Oxford Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Churchill Hospital, UK, Richard Eastell, Professor of Bone Metabolism, Head of the Academic Unit of Bone Metabolism, and Director of the Mellanby Centre for Bone Research, University of Sheffield, UK, and Ashley Grossman, Emeritus Professor of Endocrinology, University of Oxford, UK

Dr Helen Turner (MA (Cantab.) MD FRCP LLB Hons) trained at Cambridge University followed by St Bartholomews Hospital, and has been a Consultant Endocrinologist in Oxford since 2000. Her MD research was angiogenesis in endocrine tumours. She has written many research papers and her main clinical and research interests are Turner Syndrome and the Management of Thyroid eye disease. She initiated and edits the successful Oxford Handbook of Endocrinology which is now in its third edition.

Richard Eastell qualified in medicine from Edinburgh in 1977. He trained in endocrinology in Edinburgh, Northwick Park and at the Mayo Clinic (Dr B L Riggs). He leads a research group on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis; of particular note is his contribution to the use of bone turnover markers and the development of treatments for osteoporosis. He was the first European elected to the Council of ASBMR and was its 2013 meeting clinical co-chair. His work has recently been recognised by the Ian MacIntyre Medal (2011), Philippe Bordier Award (2012) (European Calcified Tissue Society), Frederic C Bartter Award 2014 (American Society for Bone and Mineral Research) and IBIS Team Member awarded 2014 Translational Cancer Research Prize, Cancer Research UK, 2014.

Ashley Grossman graduated in Psychology and Social Anthropology from the University of London, and then in Neurosciences and eventually Medicine from University College London: he is Professor of Endocrinology and Fellow of Green-Templeton College at the University of Oxford, Professor of Neuroendocrinology at Barts and the London School of Medicine, and Consultant NET Endocrinologist at the Royal Free Hospital, London. His current interests revolve around the pathogenesis of endocrine tumours including adrenal, pituitary and neuroendocrine tumours. He is a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences, and author or co-author of some 850 original articles and reviews.
