Despite many diagnostic advances, expert clinical examination is fundamental to the practice of medicine. Macleod's Essentials of Examination provides a concise guide to examining each body system, ideal for senior medical students, doctors in training and other health professionals.

Each chapter provides a standardised framework for examining a body system, along with important considerations for the clinician as well as self-test questions. The book is spiral-bound, portable and concise, with space for the reader to annotate and add their own notes – making it ideal as both a guide on the wards and as an exam revision aid.

The second edition of this popular title has been fully revised to take into account current terminology, guidelines and diagnostic pathways. Written specifically for this format, the book can be used as a standalone resource or alongside its hugely successful parent text, Macleod's Clinical Examination and the other MacLeod’s titles.
