"The content for each available entry is excellent.The videos are clear and instructive. The animations are a helpfuladdendum. The notes, and in particular the sections oncomplications of the procedure are outstanding and this informationis often difficult to find elsewhere. I particularly like the factthat there is an included section on anatomy for each clinicalskill, with clear photographs and labels. I have looked for thiskind of information before and it was very difficult tofind " Medical student, Oxford University

"It is often quite difficult to learn clinicalskills as you have to see the procedure at least once before youare allowed to try yourself For some of the rarer procedures itcan be very difficult to even see one let alone practise yourself.I think this type of resource would be excellent to allow studentsand doctors observe the procedures in the 'ideal' situation beforepractising on the clinical skills dummies we have in thehospital."
