• 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

incorporated into the examination of the neurological system.

• The book now includes over 50 clinical examples in OSCE format,
as used in final MB and MRCP (UK) PACES examinations, to help

the detail.
