It provides an outstanding source of learning and reference for undergraduate medical students and postgraduate doctors. It seeks to teach an integrated approach to clinical practice, so that new methods and investigations are grafted onto established patterns of clinical practice, rather than added on as something extra. The text is organised so that both system-related and problem-oriented chapters are included. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of the doctor-patient relationship, the essential skills needed for clinical examination, and for planning the appropriate choice of investigations in diagnosis and management. Provides a comprehensive account of the traditional methods of patient history-taking and examination but updated with a full account of the role of modern investigative techniques. A book for students of all ages and all degrees of experience. The most comprehensive account of clinical methods on the market. New editorial team on the 23rd Edition continue to set the highest standards of content and presentation A planned condensation of some sections will allow a slimmer volume but still retain extensive coverage of all major areas of clinical examination and investigation Further details of new edition to follow
