The NHS and independent healthcare sectors increasingly depend on the contributions of the migrant workforce to make up for serious shortfalls in staff numbers. This book analyses the motivation required for nurses to migrate, their experience of integration and the important contribution they can make in the healthcare environment. Based on quantitative and qualitative research conducted among migrant and refugee nurses, this book includes many first-hand accounts from individuals adapting to working life in the United Kingdom. It covers areas such as diversity, relationships, problems, cultural understanding and exclusion, as well as taking an overall look at migration, ethnicity and employment. "Migrant Nurses" is a practical handbook that provides vital information for human resources managers in the NHS and private healthcare sectors, diversity managers and mentors. It provides great insight for researchers interested in organisational behaviour, healthcare and development studies. Policy makers and shapers will find it helpful and community groups working with migrants and refugees will also find it valuable.

Radiology now forms part of the core curriculum and is assessed in the final medical OSCE. This book includes 100 radiology cases that medical students are likely to encounter in their exams. The book is primarily image based, presenting a clinical history, description of findings and discussion for each image. Critically, the images include modern techniques such as CT and MRI in addition to more traditional photography, and the book helps students recognise and interpret abnormal image findings as well as increasing their factual knowledge. This book is vital reading for final year medical students approaching their final OSCE, and also for junior doctors who need a radiology quick reference guide in clinical practice. It can also be used to supplement MRCS Picture Questions Book 1 (see below) by candidates revising for the MRCS examination.
