£11.00
Great book - I got this book a month ago and found it extremely helpful. It s great to carry around with you on the wards and refer to quickly should you need to.It covers the duties of FY1 and FY2, examples of a pre- and post-foundation cv, how to write notes,discharge summaries, dealing with being on-call,referrals, miscellaneous conditions in medicine, surg and A&E, basic procedures, lab test interpretation and lots lots more. Get it if you want some insight into what foundation posts entail. It s great.
Full of facts - I don t know if my review will be relevant to most people (!)... but this book is excellent for people who have been out of medicine (and in research) for way too many years (8) and returning to clinical life. Contains all the practical facts about clinical care (that are actually easier to forget than the medicine itself) and administrative aspects that clinical medicine textbooks just don t cover. And of course, also updates you with the new fangled way of doing things in the NHS!
