This concise medical reference is designed to help medical students, doctors, nurses and physician's associates apply best practice to the taking of effective medical histories. It provides informative but succinct guidance for clinical professionals on how to capture and interpret a medical history from their patients. The approach presented is new and innovative, and based on expert medical opinion and in depth research with senior clinical leads from multiple medical and surgical specialities from the UK's leading virtual hospital. The Concise Guide to Medical History Taking makes use of the development of new patient-focussed medical history tools, where the essential elements of clinical history taking have been refined and improved in order to develop a meaningful and relevant way of taking a clinical history whilst avoiding much of the traditional filler content that is taught traditionally. The question sets are now more user friendly, discriminating and linked to the underlying set of differential diagnoses. This reflects an updated approach to clinical history taking, seeking tangible benefits, based on the evidence of what has been found to be most useful in real world clinical practice. With a foreword by Dr Richard Chudleigh, Consultant Physician & Diabetologist, Singleton Hospital, Associate Professor, Swansea University Medical School
