It offers helpful hints and tips on what to expect and how to negotiate the examination successfully.

Topics featured include:
·extracting patient history
·eliciting symptoms, e.g. hallucinatory, delusions, anxiety, depression, etc.
·explaining mental illness to the patient, their relatives and carers
·starting a patient on a new drug, e.g. atypical antipsychotics, antidementia, depot medication
·physical examinations, e.g. cardiovascular and respiratory, mental state, cranial nerves, opiate withdrawal, eating disorder, etc .

·ECT electrode placement
