oscesmart in General Practice
Practice vignettes, histories and mark schemes for your finals.
The emphasis on general practice OSCE stations has increased over the past few years, and will continue to do so as changes are made to the medical school curriculum and of course to the NHS.
This book is designed to guide you and give you the essential skills you need to take a thorough but focused history and in some cases the examination, followed by investigations and management.
This book covers 50 stations from 11 specialites with a dedicated chapter on communications and ethics.
Working through all the cases in this book will not only make you prepared for OSCE stations in general practice but will also make you more confident handling the common clinical scenarios in your future career.
