Titles in the Pocket Tutor series offer practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with on the go, at a highly affordable price. This makes the series accessible for those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment.

Examples of topics covered in the series include:

• Common investigations (ECG, imaging, etc.)
• Clinical skills (patient examination, etc.)

• Clinical specialties that students perceive as too small to merit a textbook, such as psychiatry and renal medicine

Key Points

• Breaks down subjects that students find complex and daunting, using clear images and concise but informative text
• Logical, sequential content: starting with relevant basic science, followed by chapters dedicated to common disorders that introduce the clinical essentials of renal practice
• Descriptions of common disorders are enhanced by Clinical Scenarios (Patient presents with...), helping students and trainees recognise and manage common presenting problems
