In line with current teaching methods, the handbook takes a systems-based approach to medicine. Each system chapter follows a structured format covering applied anatomy, history, examination, and the presentation of common and important disorders. The procedures section includes approximately forty practical procedures that the final year medical student and senior nurse are expected to perform, from hand-washing through cardiopulmonary resuscitation to inserting chest drains. The theory, practice and complications are outlined for each. The final section on data interpretation covers the basics of chest x-rays, abdominal x-rays, ECGs, lung function tests and several other areas that the junior doctor is expected to carry out in their early years of training.

Readership: This handbook is aimed at medical students throughout their course and student nurses throughout their clinical years. It is an excellent quick reference and revision guide when preparing for OSCEs and data interpretation examinations. It will also prove useful to junior doctors and nurse practitioners as a primer before going out onto wards, or into a primary care setting.
