  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
