Great way to learn clinical skills - By: Ms. M. LLOYD, 08 Oct 2008
At last! An accessible (bothin terms of hard cash & information presented) set of DVDs on physical examination skills.

How easy Andreas Syrimis has made it for stressed out students! I watch these DVDs while I am cooking or washing up! No weighty tomes to wade through, no sitting at my computer alone upstairs scouring the internet for clinical skills videos. All here, all accessible. Not only video footage but with additional slides & self-assessment questions included.

I agree with another reviewer who says that Andreas demystifies clinical skills. Take, for example, the nervous system, which often scares & confuses students; he tackles its complexities (on 2 DVDs) with clarity & logic, & presents his information precisely & concisely. His style is confident but gentle & unhurried. He takes the listener with him - & of course there is always the pause/rewind button on hand......just incase!

As a trained nurse now studying to become a health practitioner I would recommend these DVDs to anyone needing to learn/revise clinical examination skills for bedside and/or consulting room.

A gem laden piece of work. - By: I. De Vries, 29 Sep 2008
I now have most of the Clinical Examination DVD series & can say that they are a brilliant & thorough guide to physical examination & differential diagnosis for the various systems. The author presents gem after gem of informationin a highly effective manner. The visual demonstrations of technique are plentiful & brilliant for memory retention. Simply a wonderful way to learn!

A much awaited DVD on clinical examinations - By: The Oracle of Delphi, 26 Apr 2008
I was very suprised with the amount of useful information packed onto a single DVD. Everything a student needs for revising his clinical skills; including anatomy & physiology, case history taking, regional examinations of synovial joints & many orthopaedic tests all performed with clarity & backed up by great images. Highly recommended!

Excellent teaching resource - By: Ms. L. A. Nelson, 17 Mar 2008
I purchased the whole set of Andreas Syrimis's DVD's to use as teaching & revision aids for both under & post graduate orthodox & complementary medicine students. Mr Syrimis has made the subject of physical examination accessible. He has removed the mystery from it. My students found the musculoskeletal DVD especially helpful. This is an area of physical examination that students traditionally have difficulty with. The subject is clearly & logically presented. The format facilitates numerous ways of teaching from initial subject introduction to revision. Thank you Mr Syrimis & I wish the DVD's had been published when I was a student. I have no reservationsin recommending them to tutors & students alike.

Physical examination DVD - By: Avicenna, 17 Mar 2008
I was pleasantly surprised at the style & simplicity of this presentation. As a clinician for the NHS I have access to a variety of learning resources but I found this DVD a much easier way of gaining confidence with musculoskeletal assessment. Particularly the way the orthopaedic tests were demonstrated interlaced with clear slides & images showing what structures or conditions are being tested were very helpful. The section on case history taking centred on musculoskeletal complaints is also comprehensive & good revision too. My doubts about acquiring this product were ill-founded.
