An excellent book which is well written and easy to use. I think this book will nicely support PBL learning as well as supporting clinical examination skills. Information is presented in an easy and accessible format. Illustrations are of a high quality and support the core text well. Very useful for those studying advanced practice as well as those on medical courses.
