Renal Medicine Pocket Tutor

Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with “on the go”, at a highly affordable price that puts them within reach of those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment.

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

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

Key Points

• Breaks down a subject that students find complex and daunting, using clear images and concise but informative text
• Logical, sequential content: relevant basic science; then chapters devoted to common disorders that introduce the clinical essentials of renal practice
• Descriptions of common disorders are enhanced by Clinical Scenarios (Patient presents with…), which help students and trainees to recognise and manage common presenting problems
