This book will help final year medical students improve their chances of getting their ideal medical job by practising the new style `Situational Judgement Tests' (SJTs) required for recruitment. It begins with an explanation of the type of questions that are asked and introduces students to exam techniques required in order to succeed in the test. Following on from this, another chapter is dedicated to the core concepts and guidelines expected of junior doctors, before finishing with several mock examinations with answers for the readers to test themselves. SJTs are currently used elsewhere in medicine for the selection of fully qualified doctors into GP training, however this type of examination and questioning is not one which any medical student will be familiar with or have come across in their training to date. The book gives a comprehensive explanation of answers including key references and topics relating to professionalism, medical ethics, GMC guidelines and foundation programme personal specifications. The contributing authors include current foundation year doctors who can offer authentic realism from their ward experience. The book will serve not only as a revision guide but also as an instructional tool to help potential junior doctors reason through professional dilemmas they may encounter in the `SJT' selection tests as well as in real life on the wards.

What useful changes has feminism brought to science? Feminists have enjoyed success in their efforts to open many fields to women as participants. But the effects of feminism have not been restricted to altering employment and professional opportunities for women. The essays in this volume explore how feminist theory has had a direct impact on research in the biological and social sciences, in medicine, and in technology, often providing the impetus for fundamentally changing the theoretical underpinnings and practices of such research. In archaeology, evidence of women's hunting activities suggested by spears found in women's graves is no longer dismissed; computer scientists have used feminist epistemologies for rethinking the human-interface problems of our growing reliance on computers. Attention to women's movements often tends to reinforce a presumption that feminism changes institutions through critique-from-without. This volume reveals the potent but not always visible transformations feminism has brought to science, technology, and medicine from within.

Good Practice is a course for doctors and medical students who need to communicate with patients in English, and can be used in the classroom or for self-study. Good Practice focuses on the language and communication skills that doctors need to make consultations more effective through a focus on five elements of good communication: verbal communication, active listening, voice management, non-verbal communication and cultural awareness. The course teaches learners how to sensitively handle a range of situations such as taking a patient history, breaking bad news, examining a patient and describing treatment options, as well as preparing doctors for dealing with different types of patients, from children to the elderly. With reference to numerous medical communication experts, and through exposure to authentic clinical scenarios, the course demonstrates the impact of good communication on the doctor-patient relationship and enables students to become confident and effective practitioners in English. The Teacher's Book is an invaluable tool for anyone wishing to use Good Practice in the classroom. As well as guiding the teacher through the activities, each unit offers background information to the unit topic, notes on medical terminology, pronunciation guidance and suggestions for further reading. The Teacher's Book also offers 12 photocopiable related reading texts and photocopiable worksheets to use with the Good Practice DVD.
