About the Book

History and Examination At a Glance provides a concise, readily accessible introduction and revision guide designed in accordance with current teaching practice. The book follows the easy-to-use At a Glance format of double page spreads composed of clear memorable diagrams that support accompanying key facts and essential information. For ease of understanding, the book has a four-part approach. Section I introduces students to key history taking and communication skills including relationships with patients, family history, functional enquiry and more. Section II covers the history and examination of the systems as well as the principles and presentation of a history and examination. Section III and IV cover all the common clinical presentations and system based conditions, how they present and how to make a diagnosis. These include topics from chest pain, headache, unconscious patient, attempted suicide and trauma to aortic aneurysm, renal failure, asthma, stroke and much more. History and Examination At a Glance will be an essential resource for all medical students as well as students in other health professions. It is ideal for clinical training, for the run up to OSCE as well as other clinical examinations and it will be an absolute cornerstone to anyone’s clinical attachments! The book is designed to fit into the reading time as well as the budget of students and trainees. Pre-publication quotes: ‘I was very impressed with the manuscript…I feel that this book will be an excellent resource for medical students throughout their clinical training’ 5th year medical student, Nottingham University

Review :
Published Reviews of the 1st Edition "The writing is clear and sticks to the point and each system, presentation or condition is confined to one two-page spread, starting with a diagram summarising the main points- this would be great for revision." 4th Year Medical Student,Liverpool Medical Student Sphincter, December 2003 "This book is perfect as a partner to clinical explosure. This is a must for medical school libraries, and would not be out of place in a GP practise for students between clinic times." The American Society of Nephrology in San Diego, 12-17 November 2003 "This is a comprehensive text, successfully combining practical clinical skills with the background knowledge of common presentations and conditions vital to making a diagnosis. It is well laid out and easy to dip into, providing the right amount of information to either reactivate long-for-gotten facts or have you running to the library. .I would recommend this book to all clinical medical students, and feel that at £15.95 third year students could buy this and be content that it will continue to justify its worth up until, and probably beyond, their finals; whilst for final year students it provides both a good revision text to coax you back towards medical thoughts, as well as an excellent guide to clinical skills, useful in the run up to the dreaded final year OSCE. I shall definitely be carrying this book under my arm tomorrow, and for several months to come." gkt gazette, December 2003 "I think it's a good addition to your bookshelf and could sit nicely alongside 'Medicine at a Glance.'" Oxford Medical School Gazette, vol. 54 (1)
