Description

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 todays 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

  • Guide to appearance of normal images and abnormal signs helps you navigate imaging results successfully and recognise underlying pathology
  • Clearly labelled, high-quality images teach you to identify anatomical landmarks and clinical signs
  • Concise disease descriptions give key facts and cardinal imaging features to look out for in practice
  • New to this edition:: chapter on thoracic trauma and over 50 additional X-ray images, including those of newer medical devices
  • Previous edition (9781907816062) published in 2012
