Reviews

'This will be a fantastic resource for linking the foundational sciences with the UKMLA topics. The diagrams are very helpful, we particularly like the diagnostic testing model, and our students appreciate being able to check their understanding with the practice questions.' Michael Dillon, University of Plymouth 'This is a really good revision text for the MLA' Simon Mercer, Edge Hill University 'I think that this is a great text and will be something that we as a faculty will utilise when deciding how to write more clinically applied questions for our cohort. I especially like the integration of the anatomy into the clinical cases and questions.' Hunter Auck, University of Southampton 'Very good book. A comprehensive guide on all the topics related to UKMLA. Layout is very good and easy to navigate all the topics.' Soban Sadiq, Kent and Medway Medical School 'Excellent focus on topics … Useful guide to tutors unfamiliar with AKT requirements.' Richard Wright, University of Leicester 'Excellent book- We will be recommending it as part of our Clinical Skills Course' Vinod Patel, University of Warwick

Author Information

Steven Burr is a Professor of Medical Education at Peninsula Medical School, University of Plymouth. Steven Burr started as a university student in 1990. Having now graduated from five different ivory towers and having had a multitude of different roles in medical education, Steven thinks that he knows a thing or two about what students both want and need to know. Only now is he beginning to realise that these may actually have been two different things all along. Dr Ian Hodgins is a General Practitioner based in Buckfastleigh, South Dartmoor. He also holds the position of Lead for the Clinical Assessment Panel, Peninsula Medical School. Ian's medical career took him from Kings College, London (where he qualified in 1990) to Margate, Kent and ultimately to Plymouth. Ian has great experience in creating, improving, mending and occasionally binning applied knowledge questions. He leads the local question writing panel and is an active participant in a national one. Dr Elizabeth Drake is Director of Clinical Studies and Honorary Associate Professor at Peninsula Medical School. Currently she works as a Consultant Anaesthetist in Plymouth. She completed her masters in Clinical Education and is the Deputy Head of Peninsula Medical School. She has a vast experience of under- and postgraduate examinations from both an educator and examiner perspective. She graduated in medicine from the University of Southampton in 1998 and trained in anaesthesia in the Oxford region and Vancouver Canada. Highlights of her clinical career include being the anaesthetist for the safe delivery of conjoined twins and writing the first and widely quoted paper on training and reaching competency in epidural anaesthesia.
