skills required to elicit a clear

recognition to identify spot
diagnoses.

all the major body systems.
The

application of these skills to
specific clinical situations.

practice.
The book has
accompanying videos demonstrating
many of the key clinical examination
routines as set out in the book.
A new editorial team has undertaken
a substantial review of the book's
contents and with the help of many
new authors has radically revised
the order and approach of the text.
Several new chapters have been
created including a chapter on
patients with mental disorders; a
chapter covering the approach to a
deteriorating patient; a chapter on
assessment of patients towards the
end of life and two new chapters on
applying the key clinical skills
during assessments and in practice.
The structure of the text has been
rationalized with careful use of
boxes, tables and figures to set out
the concepts for maximum clarity.
