Series: Peate's Clinical Skills

Develop essential skills for enhancing endocrine health, ensuring accurate assessment and patient-focused treatment

Clinical Skills and the Endocrine System delivers a structured approach to understanding and mastering the clinical assessment and procedural skills that are essential for delivering safe, effective and compassionate care for patients with conditions affecting the endocrine system.

Part of Peate’s Clinical Skills, a 12-book series that combines knowledge of human anatomy and physiology with practical, confident clinical skills, this volume is organised into chapters covering how to engage with patients, assessing the endocrine system, health promotion, planning care for diabetes mellitus, vital signs, capillary blood glucose, continuous glucose monitoring, and transdermal hormone replacement therapy.

Clinical Skills and the Endocrine System equips readers with:

Clear explanations of anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology relevant to the endocrine system

Step-by-step guidance on assessment, examination, and procedural techniques, emphasising best practice and patient safety

Insights on interpreting findings, recognising abnormalities, and applying knowledge to guide care decisions

Guidance on teamwork, infection prevention and control, documentation, and patient-centred care throughout clinical practice

Strategies to explain diagnoses, treatment plans, and care procedures to patients and families, while offering emotional support

Clinical Skills and the Endocrine System is an essential resource for all healthcare and social care students—including those returning to practice and newly qualified practitioners—who manage patients with endocrine conditions and seek practical ways to deliver a higher standard of care.
