brand new series and the first to take account of the new training
structure and syllabuses, as introduced by the Modernising Medical Careers
initiative. Training in Surgery is designed to be a complete curriculum
guide to specialty training in surgery, covering the material taught
during the first two years of training, as well as the topics examined as
part of Royal College membership. Written by both trainees who are
currently completing their specialty training, and senior practitioners,
the information is accurate, comprehensive and at the appropriate level.
Easy navigation is combined with discrete double-page spreads on
individual topics allowing rapid access to information. This is
complemented by full colour illustrations including high quality clinical
photographs, imaging and diagrams, to aid visual memory of the topics.
Breakout boxes discuss controversial topics, show techniques, and list

| This book does not attempt to rival major surgical
textbooks, but draws together a collection of basic information in a
convenient format. Clinical Surgery in General provides a transition in
knowledge between the basic sciences and clinical practice. Emphasis is
placed on the general principles of surgery rather than on management of
specific conditions and thus this title complements the standard clinical
surgical textbooks. |

| Surgical trainees need to very rapidly gain a
good understanding of the nature of the diseases they are treating and to
build their own repertoire of surgical operations. They must also pass the
very searching examinations, and there is consequently great pressure,
within a limited time period, to obtain not only experience and training but
also a considerable amount of factual and practical knowledge. Principles of
Surgical Practice builds on the success of Fundamentals of Surgical
Practice, and has been designed to meet the needs of Basic Surgical Trainees
approaching the via part of the Final Assessment, which test their knowledge
of operative surgery, intensive care and pathology. The editors have drawn
upon the experience a team of recognised experts and experienced surgical
trainers to provide their perspective on the various aspects of surgical
management in chapters, presented in a way that makes learning as efficient
as possible but containing sufficient detail to cover all aspects of the
viva examination. Principles of Surgical Practice is indispensable to the
Basic Surgical Trainee, and will also provide the established surgeon and
other healthcare professionals working in the surgical environment with an
overview of the key principles underpinning modern surgical practice. |

| This leading introductory
textbook of orthopaedics provides medical students, trainee surgeons and
other health professionals with an invaluable overview of this important
specialty. Praised in previous editions for the systematic approach,
balanced content and easy-to-read style, the new edition has been brought
fully up to date, with additional detail on anatomy, an improved focus on
actual diseases and clinical signs and the introduction of handy 'stop
check' points. Over 800 illustrations, many new to this third edition, are
arranged as composites to provide a clear, pictorial account of the
subject, and can be used in association with the text and as a revision
tool. The book remains the first choice for those seeking a brief account
of this large and complex subject, and is a natural precursor to the more
detailed coverage offered by its larger parent 'Apley's System of
Orthopaedics and Fractures' for those wishing to pursue a career in
orthopaedics. |

traditionally the most feared and elusive part of the whole exam.

surgical anatomy . operative surgery . clinical pathology . principles of
surgery . applied physiology . critical care There is also coverage of the
