Here's what the BMA reviewers said:
"I would unreservedly recommend this book to any medical student and indeed anyone else who wanted to learn more about internal medicine including junior doctors, nurses, physicians' assistants. I would have loved a book like this when I was a medical student."
Medicine in a Minute is a new full-colour text covering the fundamentals of undergraduate medicine in one book. Medical students no longer have the time or inclination to read the huge texts that used to dominate this market - they need a concise book that covers the core information they have to know, and in a user-friendly format: Medicine in a Minute is this book!
The book is edited and written by two of the authors behind the bestselling Cardiology in a Heartbeat and features several common design elements and features. It has quickly found favour with medical students and is consistently one of the bestselling medical student texts.
The book is divided into body systems and then each section within the particular body system follows a consistent pattern:
- Definition
- Epidemiology
- Risk factors
- Differential diagnosis
- Aetiology
- Pathophysiology
- Clinical features
- Investigations
- Management
Medicine in a Minute is a student-friendly, concise text that you will want close to hand throughout your studies.

Comprehensive textbook
'This is an excellent textbook perfect for senior medical students and junior doctors alike. It covers each body system comprehensively; outlining normal physiology and common pathologies and integrates this with clinical features and management stratgeies. It is complemented by useful medical images and examination tips and its layout makes it very easy to read. I particularly liked the emergencies section which covers common situations encountered by junior doctors in the hospital situation.' Amazon reviewer
A great revision book for clinical year students and finals
'I have used various revision books and found this book to be very good overall. The layout is clear and easy to follow rather than packed with text. They have small boxes of key clinical pearls and I really like these! The information provided is accurate and up to date. Only essential to know information is provided so it is perfect for lunch time revision while being on placement. I also love the final chapter with all emergency scenarios with ABCDE approach! Highly recommend this book to students especially clinical years and finals!' Amazon reviewer

A must have for any medical student, I can't recommend enough! This has been so useful to me, it's so easy to quickly find and revise the key info you need to know about loads of conditions you commonly come across. This book is like a cheat-sheet for medicine!'
