Thomas and published by Wiley-Blackwell in 2015, is a comprehensive guide for UK medical students, Foundation Doctors, and other international medical students. The book, which won the British Medical Association Book Awards Young Author’s Award in 2016, covers essential practical procedures with clear explanations rooted in GMC guidelines as outlined in Tomorrow’s Doctors.

Large, clear photographs and diagrams offer a step-by-step approach to each procedure, while aide-memoires, Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), and checklists facilitate self-evaluation. The inclusion of “contraindications” ensures practitioners understand when certain procedures are not appropriate.
