Highly affordable, pocket-sized guide to Musculoskeletal Imaging for junior doctors and medical trainees.

Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with ‘on the go’, at a highly-affordable price that puts them within reach of those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment. Topics reflect information needs stemming from today’s integrated undergraduate and foundation courses: Common presentations Investigation options (e.g. ECG, imaging) Clinical and patient-orientated skills (e.g. examinations, history-taking) The highly-structured, bite-size content helps novices combat the ‘fear factor’ associated with day-to-day clinical training and provides a detailed resource that students and junior doctors can carry in their pocket. Key points Practical, accessible guide to examining the patient, which remains the bedrock of diagnosis and clinical evaluation Consistent chapter organisation: each body system chapter starts with relevant basic science, then highlights key signs before summarising examination technique Fully-updated second edition features new sections on sepsis evaluation, examination of elderly patients; tips on paediatric consultations; and all illustrations now in full colour

First principles of emergency imaging -- Understanding normal results -- Recognising abnormalities -- Gastrointestinal system -- Genitourinary system -- Chest and vascular disease -- Head and neck -- Neurological imaging -- Musculoskeletal system -- Paediatric emergency imaging.

Prescribing medications safely is a cornerstone of clinical practice but students receive little or no teaching in the practicalities of prescribing. Instead they are often left to learn on the ward, which inevitably leaves gaps in their knowledge. Unsurprisingly, prescribing errors among junior doctors are common and can cause significant harm to patients. This is a cause for concern with the GMC, and a potential solution - in the form of a national exam - has been proposed. Prescribing Skills Workbook is designed to help students and junior doctors bridge the gap between understanding the science of pharmacology and accurately writing a prescription on a patient's drug chart. The workbook format offers an ideal way to practice by completing a series of realistic, life-size charts in response to a clinical scenario. The book features 45 exercises, each one carefully chosen to test the reader's grasp of a key principle such as management of the patient on warfarin. Each exercise begins with a short scenario; next, the reader is invited to complete a chart based on the details in the case; then follows an answer section containing a correctly completed chart together with a summary of the main clinical and educational aspects of the exercise. Key Points A unique resource for medical students and foundation doctors to improve their understanding of the principles of safe prescribing and practice the physical act of filling out a drug chart correctly 45 blank' hospital charts replicate the experience of completing a realistic, life-size prescription, with 45 corresponding charts filled out correctly to enable the reader to compare, identify and rectify errors DRUGCHARTS checklist provides systematic framework for accurate prescribing by highlighting the key items to consider in each case Key points boxes highlight the main learning objectives in each exercise Short introductory chapter includes tips for safe prescribing

Key points Logical, building-block approach to content: initial chapters outline the basic approach to gynaecological history and examination, and essential pelvic anatomy Subsequent chapters describe physiology and pathology of women at all stages of life from puberty, to reproductive age, to menopause; and associated disorders such as congenital disorders, menstrual disorders, genital diseases, and pelvic organ prolapse Concludes with chapter on gynaecological oncology Disorders are accompanied by medical images, examination photos and practical artworks Focuses on the conditions medical students and junior doctors are most likely to see

Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with “on the go”. Their highly affordable price puts them within reach of those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment. Common investigations (ECG, imaging) Clinical skills (patient examination) Clinical specialties that students perceive as too small to merit a textbook (psychiatry, renal medicine) Key points Breaks down a subject that students and trainees find confusing due to the number of differentials that mimic each other Logical, sequential content: relevant basic science, clinical essentials and diagnostic pathways; then chapters devoted to individual disease groups within dermatology, including perinatal and paediatric Descriptions of common disorders are enhanced by Clinical Scenarios (Patient presents with...), which help students and trainees to recognise and manage common presenting problems
