Containing vital techniques and tips, the study cards condense revision into short essential bursts. Ideal for revising quickly on the move, students can also use them when carrying out examinations, or as a reminder before ward rounds and teaching sessions. Arranged into clear sections, the cards allow the reader to find and digest topics easily, whilst full colour illustrations aid quick and confident diagnoses.Taking a system-based approach, the set covers all essential diseases and syndromes in just 166 double-sided cards.

The final part of each card covers the treatment or management of the disease.
