    About this ebook

    Urology for Medical Students and Junior Doctors is a grab-and-go text book that can be used at home, on the wards or in clinical environments.

    Covering the entire undergraduate curriculum set by the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS), it includes information on the diagnosis, investigation and management of conditions commonly seen in Urology.
    Urology for Medical Students and Junior Doctors is clear and concise and covers your entire curriculum. It is colourful with illustrations, flow charts and tables designed to make learning and revision easy.
    This textbook will help guide you through Urology for medical school examinations and will prove invaluable when working as a junior doctor.

    This book has been created with 2 aims:
    1. To provide an accurate, relevant and accessible revision resource at the lowest price possible to benefit students and junior doctors.
    2. To raise money for charity. By purchasing this book you will be donating to charities who fund medical research and medical education.

    Reviews:
    "Urologists often remark that our subject is poorly covered in medical school curricula; therefore, when we have students attached to our departments, it is beholden on us to maximise their learning opportunities. This book should help, since its strengths are accessibility and that it is written in simple language without ever being patronising.

    I could imagine a student attending a clinic and being able to rapidly match the case in front of them with the relevant section, and doing exactly the same whilst shadowing on-call. Once qualified, whatever the specialty they are working in, they could refresh their knowledge "on the job" with this readily available aide-mémoire to better allow them to deal with pre-existing and newly diagnosed urological conditions and emergencies.

    This, then, is a most welcome, concise adjunct to learning and practising Urology for medical students and junior doctors."

      Urology for Medical Students and Junior Doctors - Ricky Ellis

      1. Foreword

      To all medical students, the aim of this book is to help you gain a better understanding of Urology and its key principles. I often hear students telling me that they feel Urology is brushed over in their training and I for one felt this way throughout my studies. Urology is an expanding speciality and certainly one that you will deal with no matter which area of medicine you dedicate your career to. You will almost definitely have to deal with urological pathology when working as a junior doctor and this can be incredibly daunting if you have had limited exposure to the speciality as a student. With a good base of knowledge and some practical tips I hope that you will feel a little more comfortable in the acute management of these conditions.

      It is important to remember as you go through your training that every doctor throughout history has been in your position, once again faced with the overwhelming prospect of having to learn yet another medical speciality. I vividly remember wondering how on earth I was going to remember everything for my final exams! It helps to remember that you are not just studying in order to pass your medical school examinations; you are studying to become a good, safe and confident doctor.

      To all junior doctors, I understand how out of your depth you can feel when rotating from one speciality to another with a new set of expectations weighing heavily on you every time. A lot of responsibility is placed on your shoulders, even as the most junior member of the team, but remember that we provide the best care for our patients when working together. Ask your colleagues and seniors for advice, find mentors to learn from and utilise the wealth of experience and knowledge of others around you. Over time try and give a little back to the next generation of doctors where possible.

      I created this book in an effort to try and give back to yourselves, tomorrow’s doctors and to help teach a subject which I felt was too often overlooked in my early training. It is my sincere hope that this book will help you to understand Urology in a way that is easier for you to remember for both your exams and when working as a junior doctor. I hope that this can become a quick reference guide for you that is easily accessible on your mobile devices and tablets whenever you come across a urological problem and are in need of some advice. Please remember to leave a review of the book and tell your colleagues about it so that it can help others too.

      In purchasing this book you are also raising money for charity, so a big thankyou for your support.

      I wish you all luck and look forward to working with you in the future.

      Ricky Ellis
