Its aim is to empower newly graduated junior doctors to excel at dealing with emergencies and handling complex prescribing scenarios.Prescribin... errors cost healthcare systems millions annually, so early training in prescribing has become an urgent priority of medical education and now forms an essential part of teaching and assessment.The Unofficial Guide to Prescribing (from the same stable as The Unofficial Guide to Passing OSCEs) is a new book designed to address this requirement. It is written by junior doctors still close to the transition from theory to practice, overseen by a review panel of senior clinicians to ensure accuracy, and designed to help medical students practise and learn as much as possible about prescribing, in actual clinical scenarios, before they have to do it for real.Each scenario is presented as you would see it in the hospital setting and covers:Initial step-by-step assessment of the patient: how to assess, assessment findings, and immediate managementInitial investigationsInitia... managementReassessme... over the patient#"As part of ‘The Unofficial Guide to…’ series, this excellent book is a must have for all students, as well as professionals involved in prescribing and hospital care" --Reviewed by: Dr Irfan Rashid on behalf of the International Journal of Clinical Skills, Jan 2015

    • English
    Drug prescribing is one of the most important parts of clinical practice. Yet it remains one of the most commonly failed components of undergraduate assessments, and accounts for an uncomfortably high proportion of medical errors. To remedy this, the Prescribing Safety Assessment (PSA) exam has been introduced in the UK. It is compulsory and will set a minimum standard for safe prescribing. Failure will preclude GMC registration. Pass the PSA is written specifically for the exam, with one chapter dedicated to each PSA section.
