Clinical Skills: Oxford Core Text is a comprehensive, practical guide for medical students covering all aspects of history-taking, physical examination, and simple practical procedures - how to take a history, elicit and evaluate problems, the method of examining a patient, and how to interpret the significance of findings. The book also includes guidance on basic data interpretation - how to carry out and interpret test results.
Common difficulties are highlighted and solutions given with the aid of case histories and practical tips. Specially drawn colour illustrations and photographs demonstrate examination
techniques and clinical diseases. The writing style is accessible and easy to follow - almost like a tutorial from an experienced doctor at the bedside. For advanced students there are summaries, useful lists and hints for finals, including a chapter covering the different formats they may encounter. As the foundations of clinical skills remain constant this book will remain an invaluable reference throughout the working life of a doctor.
Readership: Aimed primarily at clinical students and juniors in both medicine and nursing, and medical students preparing for OSCEs and data interpretation examinations. This book is also useful for general hospital ward nurses and family practitioners.

"The book explains everything with simplicity and even the Jugular Venous Pressure appears doable after a read of the chapter on the cardiovascular system. I especially liked the explanation of all the abbreviations used in medical notes. Practical information like this separates the book from others and after having read numerous clinical skills books during Phase 1, this is by far my favourite. ... this book is the best of its kind available." - Louise Murphy,(phase 3) Cambridge Medical Journal
"The book feels as though you are at the bedside being taught by a doctor." - Nicole Ward, Medical Student, Manchester
