"This book and DVD combination will detail all the main clinical procedures Foundation Year doctors are likely to encounter in their medical student days right up to FY 2 and beyond. There will be a DVD with separate sections for each procedure (between 40 and 50) in which a clinician will be shown performing the procedure on a real patient in a real clinical scenario. Not only will the procedure be clearly demonstrated but in the corner of the screen there will be a list of OSCE points. As each point iscompleted it will be ticked off on screen thus explaining how to do the procedure in real life and also how to pass any procedure-related OCSE exam stations at undergraduate or postgraduate level (for instance in the later PACES exam). Accompanying the DVD will be a chapter directly corresponding to each section in which the procedure is carefully explained, along with indications, contraindications, complications and tips etc, and also an on-screen OSCE scoring sheet"--Provided by publisher.
Uniquely combining video and book content,
How to Perform Clinical Procedures presents vital information in a clear and practical manner from experienced clinicians, detailing many of the core procedures medical students and junior doctors are likely to encounter on the wards.
The DVDs contain over 40 of the most common practical procedures, demonstrated on real patients in real clinical scenarios with step-by-step explanations and points highlighted for OSCEs and PACES. Each procedure also features an on-screen OSCE scoring sheet for self-testing.
The accompanying book also presents each procedure in detail, mirroring the videos, with the addition of indications, contraindications, complications and tips.
