This great-value pack of two essential resources offers students and newly qualified doctors a definitive resource on clinical medicine.
Unique among medical texts, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine is a complete and concise guide to the core areas of medicine that also encourages thinking about the world from the patient's perspective, to develop a holistic approach to care with a passion for practice. The eleventh edition has been fully updated to reflect the latest changes in clinical practice and best management, filled with expert knowledge, practical advice, and reassurance, each page has been reviewed by a consultant and trainee.
Oxford Clinical Guidelines: Newly Qualified Doctor 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 entry has been written by a trainee, reviewed by and approved by senior consultants.
Together these two pocketbooks provide a complete companion for the practice and philosophy of modern medicine and the clinical guidelines which underpin modern care ensuring you have everything you need at your fingertips whether on the go, in clinical sessions, or for revision.
This book is an ambitious attempt to aggregate the most widely used and current clinical practice guidelines in a small, portable format. It achieves this aim well, especially for its intended audience: doctors in training. 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.
