Fifty years since it was first published and now fully revised, Macleod’s remains the textbook of choice for medical students, junior doctors, nurses and allied health practitioners who understand that excellence in clinical examination is integral to good practice. This feature also has videos that demonstrate the examination (great revision for the dreaded osces).

Our books, ebooks, journals and digital products provide the latest information to help you learn and make the right decisions.Included on the Student Consult site are the specially-recorded videos demonstrating many of the clinical examination routines described in the main text.

The first part of the book addresses the general principles of good interaction with patients, from the basics of taking a history and examining, to the use of pattern recognition to identify spot diagnoses.There are two new chapters on examination in specific situations: The frail elderly The febrile adult A new section explicitly spells out how to demonstrate the techniques learned in the book in an OSCE and other formative and summative examinations. They all cover pretty much the same ground but Macleod's is the most accessible book to have on your library shelf at home. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. Probably not as in depth as Bates and the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Examination and Practical Skills is the best pocket book out there. Best of all using the link at the start of the book to the practical videos is well worth the outlay for the book and at under twenty pounds is a bargain!
