Book SynopsisWritten by a group of multi-professional authors, this fully updated third edition builds on the success of this classic text. The book explores a number of key areas for prescribers, including prescribing within a multidisciplinary team context, consultation skills, ethical and legal issues surrounding prescribing, the psychology and sociology of prescribing, and applied pharmacology. Among the other topics featured are monitoring skills, medicines concordance, evidence based prescribing, prescribing within a public health perspective, calculation skills, prescribing in dermatology, and minimizing the risk of prescribing errors. Each chapter has been revised and additional chapters on antimicrobial prescribing, education and training to become a prescriber, and a new section on renal impairment have been added. This book is an essential resource for both new and experienced prescribers and anyone undertaking the non-medical prescribing (NMP) programme including nurses, pharmacists, alTrade Review'I am delighted that the third edition of Independent and Supplementary Prescribing: An Essential Guide is now published. It all began with Neighbourhood Nursing report which I chaired in 1986, which was hugely valuable for community nurses, GPs, but above all the patients. With the strong support of The Royal College of Nursing, and others like Matt Griffiths and Molly Courtenay, it became embedded as an idea and a practice. Like all good ideas it grew, and other professions can now prescribe but healthcare changes fast and we must keep up-to-date. So, I warmly welcome this third edition building on the popularity of the first two. This book is essential reading for non-medical practitioners undertaking the prescribing course along with medical students learning to prescribe. With such valuable advice and educational materials the future is bright for better care for patients and skilled practitioners.' Baroness Julia Cumberlege, CBE, DL'This book offers good discussion on pertinent topics for prescribers, including good communication skills, ethical and legal issues, influences on prescribing habits, adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, research studies and statistical interpretation, and some useful information on disease states and prescribing for them.'

Book SynopsisWith more than 950 questions, and containing diagrams found in the actual exam, this book encompasses the syllabus of the Final FRCA as set by the Royal College of Anaesthetists, including five complete examinations, each comprising of 90 MCQs. Questions have been modelled on actual exam questions so that they accurately reflect the style and level of difficulty. In addition to providing concise answers there are also links and references, tips for learning and advice on how to approach the examination. Trade Review... the content and breadth of subject provided by this book is excellent. Reading through the question papers felt like a return to attempting the College papers again. The style of both the question posed and five following stems is well-mirrored to that of the College. The level of detailed knowledge demonstrated in this text is appropriate to the level of the Final FRCA, with occasional completely random anaesthetic or critical care facts that are often bemoaned by candidates in the real thing! There has been a niche in the marketplace for an up-to-date MCQ textbook for a number of years; previous candidates have relied on older publications with irrelevant or now defunct question bases. It is refreshing to finally see a text which addresses this problem and candidates will be gratefully for this new source of MCQ revision... this textbook will become one of the 'must-haves' for Final FRCA candidates. It is modernised, relevant, appropriately detailed and accurate, and left me wishing that it had been present at the time of my exam. -- Dr James Shorthouse MBBS BSc(Hons) FRCA, August 2010 5 Stars: Essential aid to Final FRCA revisionIt is rare to find an MCQ book for the Final FRCA, where the questions match the content and depth of knowledge demanded by the College so accurately. Get Through Final FRCA is pitched at exactly the right level, and with 450 MCQ stems, it gives candidates an ample number of questions to get their teeth into.What sets this book apart from similar multiple choice question books are the detailed answers. These include thorough explanations and further revision material including tables and mnemonics, which are ideal to help increase your basic knowledge of an area when time is short. For more detailed revision, references are provided. An extra useful resource is the comprehensive list of up-to-date guidelines and recommendations that is included at the start of the book ... invaluable to exam preparation, especially for the SAQ and viva parts of the exam.I would recommend this book to candidates preparing for the MCQ part of the final FRCA, for the sheer volume of questions and for the further scope for revision it provides. -- Victoria Wroe MBBS MRCP FRCA - ST4 Anaesthetics 5 Stars: Essential reading for the final MCQ paper!Excellent MCQ book, mainly because the answers are extremely well written. The review of recent important literature at the back of the book is particularly good and saved me hours of trawling through journals. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone sitting the Final FRCA. -- Amazon customer review, Sept 10 5 StarsA succinct and comprehensive book along with fully informative and updated notes and explanations. The questions are well thought out and brilliantly framed. The ready-made list elucidating the guidelines and current evidence at the beginning is actually the highlight of the book, which will also come in handy for SOE preparation.I would most definitely recommend this book for Final FRCA SAQ/MCQ candidates as well as those wishing to seek a list of latest guidelines. -- Amazon customer review, Sept 10 5 Stars: A lot more than just MCQsGet Through Final FRCA: MCQs has been well thought out and researched. The questions are relevant, up to date and varied covering both primary and final topics. The framework for the 450 questions is similar to the real deal and is therefore good practice. The answers are well written ... and references at the end of every explanation made it easier to find more information on the subject.For me what made the book stand out from other books is the list of studies and guidelines relevant to anaesthesia at the end of the book. The fact that the authors are currently still in their rotations and fresh out of their own exam experience has really helped in creating a book that is updated, comprehensive and in sync with the exam. -- Amazon customer review, Oct 10 I would highly recommend this book having used it myself. The explanations are detailed and often act as an opportunity to revise certain key areas required for the exam. It also improves basic knowledge. There are tables, mnemonics and scoring systems and would save the candidate time that would have been spent in looking them up with the questions. I believe it is essential reading material and a wonderful revision tool for everyone planning to take the Final FRCA exam. -- Dr Chima Alexander Oti, Specialist Registrar in Anaesthetics, Oct 10 5 Stars: ExcellentIf colleagues and juniors ask my for a Final FRCA book recommendation, I will without doubt recommend Get Through Final FRCA: MCQs as both an MCQ resource and an overall guide to Finals revision. -- Amazon customer review, Oct 2010Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisCommunication skills are the cornerstone of being a good doctor and there is a growing trend to incorporate these skills within the medical school curriculum. Medical students are normally well-versed in the medical knowledge needed for their OSCEs but often struggle with the key communication techniques required. This book shows how better communication skills will lead to a better consultation. It combines a practical approach to communicating with the essential clinical knowledge needed to help students perfect their consultations. It is written by medical students and junior doctors for medical students and junior doctors. Communication Skills for OSCEs is the first medical OSCEs book to focus on the key communication skills the medical student needs. Communication Skills for OSCEs prepares you for the examination setting but, in doing so, also provides the building blocks for good communication skills throughout your career.Trade ReviewFive-star reviews: Amazing book! "This book is essential for every single medical student's shelf! It begins with a really helpful summary about how to get the most out of a consultation, including how to approach certain topics, the best way to structure your history and how to build up a good relationship between you and the patient. There is a general outline about taking any history (not topic-specific) and then there are chapters for guidance on topic-specific consultations (e.g. psychiatry, neurology, orthopaedics and rheumatology etc.). Therefore, this book can be used from day 1 in medical school, right up to year 5 (and beyond!). I can't wait to apply what this book has taught me to my next OSCE!" Amazon reviewer The go-to textbook for communication skills "A very concise yet comprehensive textbook on communication skills for medical students. It's a perfect resource for doing well in OSCEs, but also for clerking patients on the wards in clinical years. You would be missing out if you don't read this book as a medical student." Amazon reviewer Fantastic book for OSCEs "What a useful book! It has everything in it from general consultation skills to information on specific systems (what questions to ask about e.g. a headache) to detailed help with e.g. Breaking bad news. Very clearly laid out with just the right amount of information, I'd say it's essential for anyone being examined on communication skills. Third year medical student, on Amazon Great help for Comms Skills OSCEs! "A really useful book for medical students. Lots of key information is laid out clearly and concisely and is nicely organised into separate specialities. There are lots of examples to go through as well.

Book SynopsisThe FRCS Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) exam is split into three parts: written, viva and mock clinical consultations with an examiner and an actor in the role of a patient. These consultations fall into two formats: ‘short case’, where the examiner poses questions specific to the patient’s case, and ‘long case’ where the candidate must diagnose the patient’s presenting problem and suggest an appropriate course of treatment. FRCS (Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery) Part 2: 100 Clinical Cases focuses on the clinical component of the exam and is structured according the FRCS OMFS syllabus. Each chapter starts with cases devoted to examination of the patient, history taking and investigations. Subsequent cases feature ‘short case’ clinical scenarios commonly encountered in the exam. Where relevant to exam practice, a ‘long case’ is included at the end of each chapter. The ‘short cases’ feature mock questions, while the ‘long cases’ also include an examiner’s mark sheet listing the answers and actions candidates must perform to achieve full marks.

Book SynopsisMedical interviews have changed a lot with time; in the last two decades, multiple mini interviews (MMIs) have revolutionized the assessment strategies for entrance to medical schools. MMIs usually consist of 6-10 stations of independent assessments done in a timed circuit so that the same examiner evaluates a specific skill for a station among the candidates. Many of these stations assess a candidates soft skills, including critical thinking, problem solving, team working, leadership and professional attitudes in addition to their knowledge, skills and motivation towards choosing medicine as a career. MMIs are not just a test of a candidates knowledge or skills, but their ability to use it appropriately at the right time. Aristotle said, we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. Candidates wishing to succeed in medical MMI interviews need repetitive practice in the various stations. These stations usually include assessments on communication skills, medical ethics, recent medical facts, role play with an empathetic approach, data interpretation and calculations, scenario-based situations, personal character, motivation and judgment. This book will provide an excellent variety of opportunities to practice these stations and guide the candidate with a framework of answers. This book can be used for various medical university entrance exams, including those in the United Kingdom via the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), the United States via the American Medical College Application Service (AMCA), Canada via the respective Medical School Applications Service, Australia via the specific state Tertiary Admissions Centre and many other countries via their specific admission pathways.

Book SynopsisDesigned as a companion to the Forensic Psychiatry (Oxford Specialist Handbook), Second Edition, this new casebook complements the domains of both theory and practice put forward in the handbook, but also works as a standalone volume for those who wishes to enhance their decision making in cases they may confront in their discipline. Organised into three sections, the casebook allows the practitioner to think through not only the technical medical aspects of real-life clinical cases, but also the legal and ethical aspects. Part A provides an introduction to the theory and practice of decision-making; Part B presents cases across clinical, legal, and ethical domains; and Part C offers frameworks for critiquing decisions. This robustly discursive approach to a fact-based but also value-laden discipline enhances the opportunity to put knowledge into practice. The Oxford Casebook of Forensic Psychiatry expresses the concept that ''knowing is the only part of deciding'', offering an essential practitioner''s guide to decision making in clinical, forensic, and legal psychiatry.Table of ContentsPart A: Decision making A.1: Decision making theories A.2: Decision making in practice Part B: Cases B.1: Clinical cases B.2: Ethical cases B.3: Criminal law cases B.4: Civil law cases B.5: Mental capacity and mental health law cases Part C: Critiquing decisions C.1: The critique matrix C.2: Legal critiquing in general C.3: A case study of critiquing clinical decision making within multiple paradigms C.4: Other specific critique paradigms C.5: Conclusion: self-critique as the gold standard
