Oxford Handbooks Clinical Tutor Study Cards: Surgery Tanya M. Monaghan (Academic Clinical Fellow, Institute of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation, University of Nottingham and Specialist Registrar in Gastroenterology, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Nottingham, UK)
Oxford Handbooks Clinical Tutor Study Cards are a new, innovative, and versatile aid to revision from the publishers of the famous Oxford Handbooks. Following the same portable format, each card covers a discrete topic, enabling students to revise in bite-sized chunks quickly and safely whilst on the move. These handy double-sided cards can also be used when carrying out an examination, containing the vital techniques and tips students need to know. They are split up into defined sections to allow the reader to find topics quickly, and are supplemented with full colour illustrations to aid quick and confident diagnoses. This set of surgery cards takes a system and anatomical-based approach, covering all essential conditions and diseases in just 132 cards. Each card first looks at clinical examination, before covering the need-to-know essentials: background and epidemiology, presentation, differential diagnosis, and suitable investigations, followed by treatment or management.
