The Unofficial Guide to Prescribing lays out the practical steps of how to assess, investigate and manage a patient, with a focus on what to prescribe and how to prescribe it. Its aim is to empower newly graduated junior doctors to excel at dealing with emergencies and handling complex prescribing scenarios. Prescribing errors cost healthcare systems millions annually, so early training in prescribing has become an urgent priority of medical education and now forms an essential part of teaching and assessment. The Unofficial Guide to Prescribing (from the same stable as The Unofficial Guide to Passing OSCEs) is a new book designed to address this requirement. It is written by junior doctors still close to the transition from theory to practice, overseen by a review panel of senior clinicians to ensure accuracy, and designed to help medical students practise and learn as much as possible about prescribing, in actual clinical scenarios, before they have to do it for real. Each scenario is presented as you would see it in the hospital setting and covers: - Initial step-by-step assessment of the patient: how to assess, assessment findings, and immediate management - Initial investigations - Initial management - Reassessment - Treatment - Handing over the patient - 'Prescribe' alerts throughout - Written-up drug charts - Blank drug charts for copying and practice

Medical students lack information on preparing for clinical surgical finals, particularly on common mistakes and the features which identify successful candidates. The Ultimate Guide to Passing Surgical Clinical Finals is an accessible and comprehensive preparation aid, equipping final year medical students with the knowledge and skills that they are expected to demonstrate both in clinical surgical finals and in clinical practice as junior doctors. Its tutorial-style approach provides advice on how to think logically, speak coherently, and demonstrate both breadth and depth of knowledge - all key hallmarks of successful candidates. The book's broad approach reflects the full range of skills and knowledge covered by modern curricula, including instruments, procedures and the increasing use of surgical imaging. It is vital reading for clinical year medical students preparing for final examinations in surgery, and for postgraduate students who wish to improve their presentation, viva and OSCE clinical examination skills. 'This book's approach is in the best surgical traditions of ordered thinking when it comes to the examination itself. I admire this book and commend it to you.' - From the Foreword by David E Khoo
