Clinical Skills (Paperback)

Review from previous edition This book tells you what is important and what one should most concentrate on... precisely the sort of guidance every clinical student looks for... I greatly liked what I saw and read. * Mark O'Shea, Medical Student, Nottingham *
Excellent. A clearly written book that provides exactly what is needed on the wards as a clinical student....Loved the style of writing... it is a winner. * Richard Duggan, Medical Student, Newcastle *
Student-friendly language avoiding jargon, and with a practical approach with good emphasis on presentation and exam technique. * Alan Cheung, Medical Student, University College London *
It looks excellent and is very readable... Phonetic spellings are an excellent touch and I cannot believe every book does not include them. Every student lives in fear of mispronouncing a word... the case histories are well constructed... these would give me more confidence in diagnosing signs and symptoms. * Nicholas Hoque, Medical Student, Imperial College *
The book explains everything with simplicity and even the Jugular Venous Pressure appears doable after a read of the chapter on the cardiovascular system. I especially liked the explanation of all the abbreviations used in medical notes. Practical information like this separates the book from others and after having read numerous clinical skills books during Phase 1, this is by far my favourite. ... this book is the best of its kind available. * Louise Murphy,(phase 3) Cambridge Medical Journal *
The book feels as though you are at the bedside being taught by a doctor. * Nicole Ward, Medical Student, Manchester *
