Inhaltsangabe

Part of the unique and award-winning The Unofficial Guides series, a collaboration between senior students, junior doctors and specialty experts. This combination of contributors understands what is essential to excel on your course, in exams and in practice – as well as the importance of presenting information in a clear, fun and engaging way. Packed with hints and tips from those in the know, when you are in a hurry and need a study companion you can trust, reach for an Unofficial Guide.

The Unofficial Guide to Prescribing provides detailed steps on patient assessment, investigation, and management, with an emphasis on prescription procedures. Through clinical scenarios, this work provides the necessary skills to excel in handling emergencies and complex prescribing.

Prescribing errors have significant health implications for patients and financial implications for healthcare systems, costing millions annually. As such, early prescribing training has become a crucial necessity in medical education and is now an integral part of teaching and assessment.

Each scenario is presented as you would see it in the hospital setting and covers:

  • Initial step-by-step assessment of the patient: how to assess, assessment findings, and immediate management
  • Initial investigations
  • Initial management
  • Reassessment
  • Treatment
  • Handing over the patient
  • New section on electronic prescribing and fluid prescribing
  • Drug charts throughout to fill in with model answers
  • Core theory around prescribing alongside practical application
  • Prescribing taught alongside clinical management
  • An enhanced eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customise your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
