Customer Reviews

useful for clarking
Overall it is a useful set of 2 cards, particularly if your doing a lot of clarking or reading of medical notes as it is all in alphabetical order and easy to look up the abbreviation you need. It will probably be most useful to medical students/student nurses whilst learning, as you would probably know the majority after a year on the wards.

I think it would be better if it was just 1 double sided card with the main abbreviations used daily instead, as there is a huge amount here, which can probably be slimmed down substantially. But worth it for the price if abbreviations confuse you!

Very useful
This was just what i wanted, fits happily in the leg pocket of my trousers and has loads of info on it.

not worth it
I would not recommend buying. Abbreviations seem to be American, most of the nurses on the ward I am a student on had never even heard of them let alone used them. In fact they haven't left my pocket, since buying them.
