Description
A firm favourite of medical students and junior doctors, "Lecture Notes on Clinical Skills" covers the essential principles and techniques of history taking and examination, and provides guidance on the key professional skills involved in developing and maintaining good communication between doctor and patient. This new fourth edition has been revised to provide up-to-date information on procedures and a greater emphasis on the patient-centred approach. First class clinical skills are vital for all medical students and junior doctors on foundation programmes. This pocket-sized quick reference guide shows you how to take a complete history; how to examine a patient thoroughly; how to request the most appropriate investigations; and how to put all of this together and come to a diagnosis.
