Review :
Reviews of the current edition "I would recommend this book to senior medical students and doctors in their foundation years. it is an excellent small but comprehensive text." Foundation Programme Director, Cheltenham General Hospital "The book provides incredibly useful and easy to follow advice for a great majority of the day to day situations you will find yourself in as a PRHO. It will prove a great help when getting to grip with the job in the first few months, and well worth storing in the locker for the morning after pay day party. Summary: Well worth a butchers" Black Bag, Bristol University Medical School Gazette "This book is one of the most useful things to have stashed in your pocket for your shadowing period and F1 year so why not get it now and have some use of it while you're a student?" Rectum, Leeds Medical School Magazine "This pocket handbook is not only a delight to look at with its colourful cover, it is amazingly concise. It begins with an explanation for the fresh faced F1 about what to wear from day one, leading confidently through to practical procedures and common calls. It collates the information about the practicalities of the FY1 that one is expected to acquire from medical school in one small book." QMM Magazine, Birmingham University Pre publication reviews of the 3rd Edition "The content within the book is extremely relevant...the Hands on Guide continues to be a valuable resource for PRHO." SHO Somerset & Taunton "The text is very user friendly. Information is easy to find, and extract. The illustrations are most informative, and the chapters appear in a logical order and are well structured." SHO Nottingham Published Reviews of the 2nd Edition "It is exactly what it says: a practical, no-nosense, hands-on guide to real life as a PRHO. ...Basically, its all the information we should have acquired during medical school but rarely have all in one place as we place so much emphasis on book learning and little on the practicalities of daily life as a PRHO." Northwing, vol.67, no.2, Autumn/Winter 2002 Published Reviews of the 1st Edition This book is as essential as the Oxford Handbook or the BNF, to put it mildly "the best thing since sliced bread" St. Thomas' Medical Gazette "This wonderful book contains all you need to know to get through your house jobs... it has priority in my already laden white coat over the Oxford Handbook." 2nd Opinion "I'd advise everyone to get this book as an accompaniment to your Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine." Sphincter "It is very well written, beautifully laid out and extremely practical." Dr Tony Hope, Director of Ethox, Institute of Health Sciences, Oxford "This book is as essential as the Oxford Handbook or the BNF, to put it mildly 'the best thing since sliced bread'." St. Thomas' Medical Gazette "Invaluable for HOs but more than useful for 5th year medical students and SHOs too!" Southampton Health Journal
