Core Clinical Skills for OSCEs in Medicine

Highly Commended - BMA Awards 2007
I inetended to buy this book having used its previous edition on many occasions. Thankfully the BMA must have read my mind and provided me with this truly invaluable resource.

This is highly-praised book contains 90 OSCE stations grouped under the type of skill being tested, but also indexed by body system. The stations all have detailed answers, underlining the nature of the question, the aims of the examiners, and a commentary on how best to answer the question. The questions cover how to take a history from a patient and how to present it to the examiner, communication skills, patient examination, interpretation of data, carrying out some basic practical procedures, and exploring attitudes to certain situations.
