Macleod's Clinical Examination: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access Graham Douglas This book is a must have for all medical students entering their clinical years. Read it early! I only discovered the gems contained within this book when my OSCE's were approaching as it had been collecting dust on the shelf and I was kicking myself that I hadn't read it earlier. Plenty of pictures and illustrations to clarify the procedures.    Read More >>

Surgical Talk: Revision in Surgery Andrew Goldberg I used this book for finals.It's a fantastic introduction to surgery (as it assumes very little knowledge), and a great revision guide for finals (since it's orientated to exams right from the start) there's also a strong focus on what you need to know (including those rarities that are commonly asked about) and how to present information in a clinical exam. And yes there is sometimes a little waffle,...    Read More >>

Oxford Handbook of Clinical Examination and Practical Skills (Oxford Handbooks) This book is an excellent addition to the ever-popular Oxford Handbook series. It has all the usual stuff that you'd expect in a clinical examination book, but it also includes detailed coverage of many essential practical procedures (e.g. ABG) and has good sections on psychiatry and paeds. Medical ethics even make a brief appearance. In addition, there is a large data interpretation chapter which...    Read More >>

GCSE Schools History Project: Revision Guide Pt. 1 & 2: The American West and Medicine Through Time: Revision Guide Pt. 1 & 2 Richard Parsons I am a history teacher, and i use this book as teaching notes for my lessons. I have used other's but they do not compare to this one. The book is bright and colourful which makes the text seem more interesting. It has some "humerous" captions to it but i don't find them funny, more cheesy, but this makes revsion seem not as dull. The notes in the book are detailed and accurate, as well as them being...    Read More >>

PACES for the MRCP: with 250 Clinical Cases: With 250 Clinical Cases (MRCP Study Guides) Tim Hall Really good book. The clinical stations are well covered - in particular this book is worth buying just for the neuro section alone which is really easy to read and understand and gives you a great framework for approaching clinical cases (this is also what countless colleagues of mine have cited as the book's main selling point!) The ethical and history taking stations are not so well...    Read More >>

Physiology of Behavior with Neuroscience Animations and Student Study Guide CD-ROM (International Edition) Neil R. Carlson The best textbook of its kind, good diagams of the brain and usually very clear in places. I found it very helpful for my Neuropsychology exam. It is very medical and concentrates on the roots of disorders which means it is a bit of a building block to understanding case studies and more descriptive texts. Only critism is that it is not consistently clear, in some areas it is patchy eg. it describes...    Read More >>

Medicine and Public Health Through Time: Revision Guide for AQA GCSE Specification A Jon Cloake    Read More >>

Surgical Pathology Revision David Lowe Yes, this is definitely required to pass the pathology part of the MRCS viva. But like the Kanani physiology/critical care books, there is a fair amount of information which is a little small print and irrelevant. It is exactly these little bits of information that stresses you out during revision. Highy recommended overall though.    Read More >>
