Content
This book is designed as a companion to the initial years of hospital training for junior doctors in training, including, but not limited to, the core elements of the curriculum for Foundation Training in the UK. Patients have co-morbidity and mixed patterns of clinical presentation and thus the book brings together the key guidance on the presentation and care of all those who attend within a wide range of disciplines. These appear in the book as they present in real life, according to symptoms. Given the balance of the type of work done by most trainee hospital doctors, the emphasis of the book is on acute, as compared with chronic, symptom presentation and effective management. Provides a concise and high quality account of the relevant information for those working in Foundation training Includes practical step-by-step guidance on a range of core clinical procedures Provides valuable information on the non-clinical aspects of a clinical career Written by an author team who combine practical experience of today's trainee hospital doctors with experience of the conditions throughout a clinical career CONTENTS Section 1 Basic principles of patient care - Initial assessment and emergency management - Use of equipment and procedures - Interpreting tests - Drugs and prescribing Section 2 Symptoms and related acute presentations - Cardiac and chest - Abdominal - Endocrine, electrolyte and renal - Neurological and psychiatric - Sepsis, shock and trauma Section 3 Specialties and cancers - Specialty acute presentations - Cancers and palliative care Section 4 Everyday life as a junior doctor - On the ward - Legal and ethical practice - Looking after yourself - Developing a career - Working as part of the system of care - Working in the UK

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages.
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages.
