Medical study and revision guides Books

Skills for Communicating with Patients, Third Edition is one of two companion books on improving communication in medicine, which together provide a comprehensive approach to teaching and learning communication skills throughout all levels of medical education in both specialist and family medicine. Since their publication, the first edition of this book and its companion, Teaching and Learning Communication Skills in Medicine, have become established standard texts in communication skills teaching throughout the world. This substantially expanded third edition has been fully updated in relation to the current literature and revised to reflect the explosion of research on healthcare communication. It incorporates considerable evidence in support of the skills of the Calgary-Cambridge Guides, offering a comprehensive and now even more evidence-based delineation of the skills that make a difference when communicating with patients. The book explores the specific skills of doctor-patient communication and provides wide-ranging evidence of the improvement that those skills can make to health outcomes and everyday clinical practice.

Book SynopsisMedical practice in the modern age requires familiarity with clinical guidelines and standards, which are often published separately in long and discursive documents. This new addition to the Oxford Medical Publications summarises the key clinical practice guidelines which all final year medical students and Foundation Year 1 and 2 doctors should know when managing common conditions. Logically organised by medical specialty, the reader can quickly familiarise themselves with the key principles of diagnosis and management at the appropriate level for beginning a new rotation on the wards. Each guideline summary is tailored to the education level expected of doctors in their first two years of training, with clear instructions for when a more senior colleague should be called upon to help. Written by a team of junior doctors under the supervision of senior clinicians, this is the first resource to distil a range of guidelines from different locations (such as NICE, SIGN, and more) into aTrade ReviewIncredibly thorough and really well thought out. This [book] would be incredibly helpful both in clinical practice day to day and as a tool to prepare for exams * Foundation Year 1 doctor (newly qualified doctor), Croydon University Hospital, UK *Perfectly pitched to its target audience. I wish I had this book when I started as a medical trainee * ST1 Radiology Trainee, University Hospital Southampton, UK *Clear, informative, and full of detail * Internal medical trainee stage 2 (qualified doctor for 4 years), County Durham and Darlington Foundation Trust, UK *The book will be a valuable resource for students and trainees seeing patients in the clinic or hospital. It will also be beneficial for more experienced general practice doctors, as a refresher for infrequently seen conditions. The book can serve as a reference text in a medical school library, as it provides an overview of topics likely to be on in-training tests. I recommend this book to physicians-in-training in the U.K., especially trainees in medical school and general practice. * Jack Harrigan, MD Candidate (University of Kansas School of Medicine -

Book SynopsisFoundations of Health Professions Education Research Understand the principles, perspectives, and practices for researching health professions education with this accessible introduction Educating healthcare students and professionals is critical to the long-term improvement of human health. Health professions education research (HPER) is a growing field with enormous potential to enrich the education of medical, nursing, and allied health students and professionals. There is still, however, an urgent need for a textbook focusing on the foundations of HPER that will help new and existing HPE researchers ground their work in research philosophies, evidence-based methodologies, and proven best practices. Foundations of Health Professions Education Research meets this need with a broad-based and accessible introduction to the foundations of HPER. Rooted in the latest theoretical and methodological advances, this book takes a global and interdisciplinary approach, designed to provide the widest possible range of backgrounds with a working knowledge of HPER. It promises to become an indispensable contribution to this growing field of increasingly rigorous research. Foundations of Health Professions Education Research readers will also find: An authorial team with decades of combined HPER experience on multiple continentsEducational features such as learning outcomes, illustrative case studies, discussion points, and exercises to facilitate understanding and retentionDetailed discussion of different approaches to HPER including scientific, realist, interpretivist, critical, and pragmatic approaches alongside a range of topics taking you through your entire research journey Foundations of Health Professions Education Research is a useful reference for both new and experienced HPE researchers, including postgraduate students studying HPER.Trade ReviewOne of the first things that struck me before even starting to read this textbook was the inherent difficulty in successfully explaining the somewhat nebulous concepts that underpin so much of health professionals education research. However, the book is structured in such a way that it successfully takes you from the conception of a study through to its completion and application. The authors made topics that can be considered dry (theory), interesting, and included topics (ethics) that other books take for granted. What I most enjoyed about this book is its broad appeal to early and mid-career researchers, as well as more senior researchers new to educational research from diverse healthcare professions. The book manages to strike a nice (but very hard to attain) balance in focus between targeting early career researchers, who may still be struggling with many of these ideas, and the more experienced researchers, who are also probably still struggling with many of these ideas. I particularly liked the diverse case studies, and many of the pause-and-reflect boxes resonated with my experiences of doing research. This is an ambitious book; well done! There is something in here for everyone - and I will be returning to it to deepen my learning. Professor Stuart Wark, Professor of Rural Medicine, University of New England, AustraliaWhat I wouldn’t have given to have this book a decade before. This book operates around what I will describe as the spirit and soul of HPER [health professions education research]. The terms and definitions are there, but with the nuance and context typically missing from ‘how to’ books on educational research. This book excels at not assuming anything, while walking the tightrope of not oversimplifying but still guiding both the novice and the experienced researcher on their journey. The result is the room for us all to consider a wide range of diverse perspectives and views before we, the readers, select what is best for us and our research context. With each turn of the page, the reader is guided towards learning more about the journey, and exploring how the travel experiences applies to an individual’s HPER hike. It is for this reason that I add a fourth ‘p’ to the book’s support of HPER – Purpose. Principles, perspectives, practices and purpose. This book helps you find your purpose in executing your research project, and the purpose in the theory and methods you choose. This book doesn’t just focus on when things go right, but also when they can go wrong. This book will make you think. It will provide you options, it will arm you with knowledge and prompt you to reconsider what you do and why are you are doing it. One of the biggest challenges in academic life is finding the opportunity to be creative and to be reflective. So many of us recognise the value of these skills, and lack the resources to undertake this activity. This book creates the landscape, the space, the guideposts to truly and deeply engage in the HPER journey unlike any other book out there. For this reason, I encourage everyone; beginner, developing, and experienced researcher to pick up a copy of this book and give yourself the joy of seeing, naming, and understanding the subtlety, variation, intricacies, and beauty of HPER.- Associate Professor Michelle Lazarus, Director of the Centre for Human Anatomy Education, Monash University, AustraliaTable of ContentsForeword: Foundations? ix About the Editors xii Author Contributions xiv Acknowledgements xix Chapter 1 Introducing Foundations of Health Professions Education Research 1 Charlotte E.

Book SynopsisThe history, philosophy, ethics, and science behind the placebo and nocebo effects. Placebos are the most widely used treatments in the history of medicine. Thousands of studies show that they can be effective and make us happier and healthier. Yet confusion about what placebos are and how to measure their effects prevents some doctors from using them to help patients. Meanwhile, damage caused by the nocebo effectthe negative effect of expecting something badis not widely recognized. In The Power of Placebos, Jeremy Howick provides an interdisciplinary perspective on placebos and nocebos based on more than twenty years of research and data from over 300,000 patients. This book, the culmination of that research, offers practical ways for researchers, policymakers, and doctors to put placebo and nocebo research into practice to improve health outcomes.

Book SynopsisEverything you ever needed to know about life on the wards that medical school didn't tell you. Includes practical advice coming direct from the authors' experience with topics from applying to the Foundation Programme to planning your career, and from interpreting results to performing practical procedures.Trade ReviewThe handbook successfully navigates a huge amount of content in small easily digestible summaries which has proved invaluable for finals revision and beyond. * North Wing Magazine *Review from previous edition ... interspersed with occasional humour that does not detract from the text...Having used the Foundation Programme book over the last week I have found it hugely beneficial. This text is great to refer to, as well as providing a sense of reassurance that I am doing the right thing! The systematic approach of the book, and neatly put together sections ensures nothing is overlooked. What I also find particularly appealing about it is chapters 1 and 2, which are full of tips on subjects only briefly covered at medical school. Many of my fellow colleagues showed a keen interest when I showed them the book and stated that they would find it very helpful in their day to day ward work. To me this book could not be much better to see a junior doctor pass through the Foundation Programme both safely and successfully. * Tom Hesse, East Cheshire NHS Trust *This is an absolute gem of a book...It really is a highly impressive and well-thought out companion to the early years of a medical career, and which I have no hesitation in recommending to all junior doctors looking for a reassuring companion on the wards. * British Medical Association Book Awards Finalists *Review from previous edition The real gems in this book are in the clinical presentations section, where management is arranged according to presenting complaint rather than by condition...a book...pitched at the right level for a junior doctor. * British Journal of Hospital Medicine *I would whole-heartedly recommend this book to any new doctors. It deals with all the situations I have encountered so far as a FY1. Realistic and focussed, it's a fantastic resource. Every new junior doctor should have a copy. And, as I have found, for some things their seniors will want to look at it too. * BMA Book Awards *I have found this book extremely useful as a final year medical student and have often referred to it whilst on the ward. I would recommend it to any final year medical student starting their 5th year placement as well as newly qualified doctors. * GKT Gazette *This book, which like all Oxford Handbooks can slip into your white coat pocket with ease, really does have within its 574 pages all you are likely to come across in your first two years post qualification - in short, it's what medical school should have taught you but as we all know, there's a fair sized gap between having the knowledge and actually putting it into clinical practice. * Dr Jeremy Sager *This book is a product of the daily experience of junior docs and it shows, there are top tips galore and sound advice. * Glasgow Medical School Journal *The Oxford Handbook for the Foundation Programme (OHFP) is a comfort blanket for all newly qualified, shiny badged doctors. The opening chapter has a feel good component to it, which similar rival publications are lacking. All is disclosed here to spare your graces on the ward rounds and in front of the dreaded ward sister. Important pieces on life organisation, money management, making referrals, managing on-calls, writing discharge summaries, and even what to carry in your limited pocket space are addressed. This section alone is worth parting with cash for. Much of the unwritten hospital etiquette and concerns when starting out in medicine are answered with reassurance dynamic and comforting. * BMJ *Table of Contents1: Being a doctor 2: Life on the wards 3: History and examination 4: Prescribing 5: Pharmacopoeia 6: Resuscitation 7: Cardiovascular 8: Respiratory 9: Gastroenterology 10: Endocrinology 11: Neurology 12: Psychiatry 13: Fluids and renal 14: Haematology 15: Skin and eyes 16: Emergency department 17: Procedures 18: Interpreting results 19: Appendices
