'The Unofficial Guide to Passing Practical Skills' follows on from the huge success of 'The Unofficial Guide to Passing OSCEs'. It contains step-by-step illustrated guides to over 50 core practical skills, with over 200 high quality images of the actual procedures being performed. Accompanying mark schemes, and typical exam questions are included to simulate real life assessment. Written by recent graduates, in conjunction with clinical skills staff, senior clinicians, and consulting a facebook group of 16, 000 students/doctors, we have ensured all core competencies are covered.The interactive format allows for group/solo revision, and handy guidance whilst on the wards. As with all books in the series, this book is an open collaboration with you the reader. Please get in touch: we encourage you to join us to maintain and develop this important resource.
