Pocket Tutor Dermatology

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.

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

Key points

• Breaks down a subject that students and trainees find confusing due to the number of differentials that mimic each other
• Logical, sequential content: relevant basic science, clinical essentials and diagnostic pathways; then chapters devoted to individual disease groups within dermatology, including perinatal and paediatric
• Descriptions of common disorders are enhanced by Clinical Scenarios (Patient presents with...), which help students and trainees to recognise and manage common presenting problems
