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.  

Topics reflect information needs stemming from today’s integrated undergraduate & foundation courses:

Common investigations (ECG, imaging, etc)Clinical skills (surface anatomy, patient examination, etc.)Clinical specialties that students perceive as too small to merit a textbook (psychiatry, renal medicine)
