Book SynopsisFor over thirty years, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialties has guided students and junior doctors through their clinical placements, renowned for providing all the information needed for both practice and revision in a deceptively small package. Now in its eleventh edition, the Handbook has been revitalized by an expanded team of specialty experts and junior doctors to guide readers through each of the specialties encountered through medical school and Foundation Programme rotations, while remaining true to the humanity and patient focus of the original edition. Updated with the latest advice and clinical guidelines, packed full of high-quality illustrations, boxes, tables, and classifications, and with a brand new chapter on how to survive your junior doctor years and beyond, this handbook is ideal for both study and use at direct point of care. Each chapter is clear and concise and filled with medical gems, with features including ribbons to mark your most-used pages and mnemonics to help you memorize and retain key facts. With reassuring and friendly advice throughout, this is the ultimate guide and revision tool for every medical student and junior doctor for each clinical specialty placement. This well-loved Handbook remains the perfect companion to the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine, together encompassing the entire spectrum of clinical medicine and unmatched by any competitor in their class, helping you become the doctor you want to be.
Trade ReviewPretty much a must -- have for medical students having clinical placements, great summaries of all the most important conditions within numerous clinical specialties. Got delivered in perfect condition. * Amazon Review *
Absolutely perfect if you've also got the handbook of clinical medicine. Between the two they basically cover most of the med school curriculum. Use this along side NICE CKS, BMJ best practice and passmed and you're sorted. * Medical student, Amazon *
Due to the easy-to-read nature of the handbook and the concise way in which is written we would recommend the book to any medical student who is wanting to grasp the concepts of their specialities learning. It has all the information in one place- perfect for notetaking and revision. * North Wing Magazine *
As a GP Registrar, I find this book of immense value during my hospital rotations, as well as during my rotation at the GP Surgery. It is also serving me as a source of information to prepare for the Applied Knowledge Test needed for my Certificate of Completion of Training. * Dr Michael Zar, GP Registrar, Glycosmedia *
