Titles in the Pocket Tutor series provide practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with ‘on the go’. Offered at a highly-affordable price, they are accessible to those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment.

Topics reflect information needs arising from today’s integrated undergraduate and foundation courses:

• Common presentations
• Investigation options (e.g. ECG, imaging)
• Clinical and patient-orientated skills (e.g. examinations, history-taking)

The highly-structured, bite-size content helps novices overcome the ‘fear factor’ associated with day-to-day clinical training, providing a detailed resource that students and junior doctors can carry in their pocket.
