Pocket Tutor Heart Disease

Titles in the Pocket Tutor series provide practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need assistance with 'on the go'. Their highly affordable price makes them accessible to those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment.

Common investigations include ECG and imaging, as well as clinical skills like patient examination. The series also covers clinical specialities that students might consider too small to justify a dedicated textbook, such as psychiatry and renal medicine.
