General Practice At A Glance

Following the familiar, easy-to-use at a Glance format, this brand new title provides a highly illustrated introduction to the full range of essential primary care presentations, grouped by system, so you’ll know exactly where to find the information you need, and be perfectly equipped to make the most of your GP attachment.

General Practice at a Glance:

• Is comprehensively illustrated throughout with over 60 full-page colour illustrations
• Takes a symptoms-based approach which mirrors the general practice curriculum
• Offers ‘one-stop’ coverage of musculoskeletal, circulatory, respiratory, nervous, reproductive, urinary, endocrine and digestive presentations
• Highlights the interrelations between primary and secondary care
• Includes sample questions to ask during history taking and examination
• Features ‘red flags’ to highlight symptoms or signs which must not be missed

This accessible introduction and revision aid will help all medical students and junior doctors develop an understanding of the nature and structure of primary care, and hit the ground running on the general practice attachment.
