Contents

• First published over a century ago, is the classic textbook on clinical skills • 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. • 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.

• A new introductory chapter emphasises the important principles in beginning a patient examination. • Two new chapters focus more precisely on the Skin and the Endocrine System, areas previously covered in the more general examination sections of the book. • A new chapter on the Examination of the Eye, previously incorporated into the examination of the neurological system. Two new chapters focus on specific situations: • Pre-operative Assessment looks at the examination required of a patient prior to sedation and anaesthesia. • Examination to confirm death. • The book now includes over 50 clinical examples in OSCE format, as used in final MB and MRCP (UK) PACES examinations, to help with revision. • Starts with a general overview section on history taking and the general examination that provide the framework on which to hang the detail.

• More than 200 new and revised photographs and drawings have been added to better illustrate key points • Revised design and layout increase discoverability of core material and special assessment tips • Reorganized “techniques of interviewing” chapter provides clearer insights into the skills of empathic listening • Each chapter has been reviewed and revised to align with new evidence from sources such as: Healthy People 2020, U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention, and American Cancer Society’s Breast Cancer Facts and Figures
