“I like the unique style … It is simple, engaging and easy to read, whatever your learning preferences (I particularly like the colour coding!). It also covers topics comprehensively, making it not only a great aide-memoire but also a very useful everyday book on the ward.” From the Foreword by Professor Farah Bhatti OBE, Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon

All the core knowledge you need at medical school in one place!

General Medicine and Surgery: Medical Student Revision Guide contains the core information you need on: Cardiology; Endocrinology; Gastroenterology; Hepato-pancreato-biliary; Haematology; Immunology & Allergy; Neurology; Renal; Respiratory; General surgical principles; The acute abdomen; Gastrointestinal surgery; The breast; Vascular surgery; Urology; Critical illness; Emergency presentations; Rheumatology; Trauma & orthopaedics.

Throughout medical school, and the years thereafter, a huge volume of knowledge must be acquired and retained, to achieve the standards expected of a safe and successful doctor. This is a mammoth task.

General Medicine and Surgery: Medical Student Revision Guide is designed to make accessing and remembering core knowledge as easy as possible:

  • each topic is presented in a colourful, revision-ready note format, with extensive use of diagrams, tables and flowcharts
  • key points are highlighted and core concepts summarised, making the information easier to digest, assimilate and memorise
  • a consistent structure means you always have access to clinical presentation, investigations and management, risk factors and complications.


Every chapter has been peer-reviewed by a specialist in the field, to ensure it is accurate and reflects the most up-to-date guidelines.


In addition, these specialists have also used their own personal experience of studying for medical exams to ensure that the books focus on the most important conditions, concepts and vocabulary needed to pass finals.


General Medicine and Surgery: Medical Student Revision Guideis the perfect companion for your medicine degree, exam revision, medical finals and your early career as a foundation doctor.

Fantastic book, definitely worth buying

The content is concise and specific and contains all the relevant information. I tend to use this book more than the lectures.' Amazon reviewer


Fantastic condense, colour coded textbook

Perfect resource for med students & junior drs!

‘Really helpful study guide for medical students. I used these notes (in their old form) to help me through my final year of medical school, they were essential for me to pass my finals. Now that I'm a junior doctor they are still invaluable, such a great resource to refer back to, and actually really useful to help me when I'm teaching medical students :) would recommend to anyone at medical school / junior doctors / medical exam takers!' Amazon reviewer


So useful! Couldn't get through med school without it!
‘I bought both books on another website, but I HAD to review them to let people know just how useful these books are. I borrowed the original print from a friend during previous exams and they are so well laid out, providing excellent summaries on such a range of subjects. When I saw there was a re print I knew I had to get them. If you thought the originals were good, wait until you see these!!!!
I will be using them throughout my revision for finals. They are so easy to use, understand and revise from. Becky really knows how to get you the key information, add in snippets of information and leave you feeling more confident. Regardless of what you study, these books would be useful to you! Worth every penny.' Amazon reviewer
