Synopsis

Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with “on the go”. Their highly affordable price represents great value for those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment.

Topics reflect information needs stemming from today’s integrated undergraduate & foundation courses:

  • Common investigations (ECG, Chest X-Ray, etc)
  • Clinical skills (procedures, patient examination, etc)
  • Important and/or complex specialties in which students receive comparatively little dedicated training (psychiatry, renal medicine)

Key Points

  • Highly affordable price and convenient pocket size format – fits in back pocket!
  • Ophthalmology receives little teaching time in the medical curriculum, so students often feel ill prepared to deal with eye problems - which are invariably urgent in nature
  • Descriptions of common disorders enhanced by Clinical Scenarios (Patient presents with...) which help students and trainees to recognise and manage common presenting problems
