Pocket Tutor Clinical Examination

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.

• Common investigations (ECG, imaging, etc)
• Clinical skills (patient examination, etc.)
• Clinical specialties that students perceive as too small to merit a textbook (psychiatry, renal medicine)

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
• Lavishly illustrated with clinical photographs, summary tables and tips boxes
