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

Clinical Skills and the Ear, Nose, and Throat 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 ENT.

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 ENT, health promotion, planning care for the pre-operative phase, vital signs, medicine management, removal of ear wax, and specimen collection.

Clinical Skills and the Ear, Nose, and Throat equips readers with:

• Clear explanations of anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology relevant to ENT
• 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 Ear, Nose, and Throat is an essential resource for all healthcare and social care students-including those returning to practice and newly qualified practitioners-who manage patients with ENT conditions and seek practical ways to deliver a higher standard of care.
