• Clinical titles – disease-based, clinical cases, system-specific core science
• Science titles – bedrock biomedical principles, clinical cases

Series features across titles:

• Engaging clinical cases show how skilled clinician would work through a presentation, and put diseases and biomedical principles into patient context
• Innovative graphic narratives bring clinical cases to life, show how to approach difficult scenarios and convey the experience of being a patient
• Starter questions - stimulating answers to intriguing questions make learning fun
• Boxes highlight tips, tricks and key learning points

Physiology

• First principles chapter clearly explains key concepts and mechanisms relevant to the study of medicine e.g. cell signalling mechanisms and homeostasis
• Systems-based chapters describe the processes that underpin normal functions such as circulation, respiration and digestion, each chapter introduced by an engaging clinical case that features a unique graphic narrative
• Self-Assessment – 80 multiple choice questions in clinical SBA format, in line with current exam format
