Life on the wards can be a real challenge. The hospital has a language and a process all of its own and it's easy to be baffled by 'the way things are done'. We all know what we want to achieve personally and for our patients. Yet, despite knowing our stuff, it can be hard to make that ward round go swimmingly, to make the perfect referral or make that entry in the notes we all want to put our names to. Clear and concise, each chapter deals with a separate part of life in the hospital. By revealing the reasoning behind their advice, and by explaining the 'why' and the 'how' of going about your working day and not simply telling you 'what you need to do', the team of doctors who wrote this book will give you the tools to make the best contribution to life on the wards. So whether you're a medical student keen to understand how your firms are going to work, or whether you've qualified and want to know how to shine in your career, this book will unlock the secrets of clinical life.
