Clinical Specialties, UKMLA edition: Medical Student Revision Guide

A truly fantastic resource covering the high yield Specialty Conditions tested in the UKMLA. Very useful as an add-on to the General Medicine & Surgery book. If your budget is a bit limited or you only want to purchase one book at the time, definitely get the General Medicine & Surgery book first. Great summary boxes, fun mnemonics, colourful graphics, clinical images, neat summary tables, and wide margins (for you to make your own notes).

Good book for medical school revision

This book is honestly so good. It's so clear and maps to the syllabus very well. Not too much information, but is the right amount of detail. My passmed scores have gone up MASSIVELY. Get this book!!!

Great textbook, clearly laid out and perfectly concise!

This book delivers concise, high-yield content perfectly tailored for exam success, making complex topics clear and clinically relevant. Its colourful, well-structured boxes and crisp summaries make rapid revision effortless and engaging. Recommended to ace your exams!

This book is super helpful for clinical specialties including those that don’t always get as much attention, like psychiatry, paediatrics, and obstetrics. The layout is simple and easy to follow, and I found the flowcharts and tables especially useful when I needed to quickly go over things before exams or during placement. As someone who loves using colours, I love the use of colour in this text book to organise information. It’s not too detailed with unnecessary info - it’s all the high-yield stuff you actually need to know. I also liked how it highlighted - visually as if a highlighter had been used - key points to focus on, which made revision way more efficient. Definitely recommended.

This is the best book in medical school I have found. The books are laid out in the most helpful way to learn, with handy bullet points, colourful notes, tables, pictures and extra tips. Everything is written in a succinct way that is easy to understand. This book along with the General Medicine and Surgery book cover all the core topics for medicine and you won’t want any other textbooks! Would recommend these books to any medical student.

As someone who is very much a "visual learner" this textbook is a personal favourite. It's use of diagrams, annotations and colour have really helped me cram lots of information into my brain. It's very logically structured in the way various conditions are categorised and subcategorised. Big thank you from me!
