This section provides access to real-life post-mortem cases.
To make the most of the case bank, we recommend first reviewing the unannotated case and recording your own observations and conclusions.
Once you’ve done this, compare your notes with the annotated version.
For ease of reference, open each case in a new window so the learning material remains readily available for revision.
