Essential Revision Notes For Mrcp

Designed to help medical students through their exams. Built around the successful 'Essential Revision Notes for MRCP', this title focuses on what is essential learning for medical undergraduates and gives readers an 'all round' knowledge of medicine at this level.

Finding the time to revise effectively is one of the greatest challenges that modern MRCP candidates face. This unique book by a recent successful candidate provides precisely what many have needed but been unable to find until now: the distilled essential knowledge required to pass the MRCP Part 2 exam. This book provides candidates with a concise and well-directed approach to fast and efficient revision, supplying comprehensive coverage of the MRCP syllabus and the key points of each topic. It stands apart from other MRCP revision resources in supplying both concise text and the essential lists needed to pass the Part 2 exam.

Suitable for candidates preparing for the MRCPCH exam, this title includes 24 specialty-based chapters that provide concise information in an accessible format.

Medicine for MRCP provides a comprehensive review of the material that you need to pass the MRCP Parts 1 and 2 written papers. The twenty-seven chapters mapped out to the RCP syllabus, cover all areas from molecular medicine and genetics, through to medical law and ethics. Written by specialist contributors and educational experts, the content is carefully crafted to build your understanding for both papers. Each chapter begins with the basic science required for Part 1, before covering clinical medicine for Part 1, Part 2 and the PACES examinations. To ensure effective revision, material is presented in short sections with bullet lists, tables, and boxes. Over 150 drawings and photos illustrate key principles and clinical topics making them easier to retain. References to evidence-based protocols and directions to further reading allow for deeper understanding. Candidates can review their progress via the 180 end-of chapter self-assessment questions. Drawing on the authors' expertise, Medicine for MRCP is the ideal companion for the MRCP as well as a useful reference guide for practicing medical doctors.

A revision book intended primarily for candidates sitting their MRCP Part 1 examination and which covers all the essential basic sciences. It focuses on the recurring themes which come up in the questions. The book also includes a chapter on clinical pharmacology (which alone accounts for up to 30% of the questions), looking at aspects of drug-induced disease and drug interactions. Finally there is a chapter on statistics and epidemiology which is rarely covered in other texts, but is often included in the exam. Despite the changes to the teaching of the undergraduate in medicine and the integration of the basic sciences with clinical education, the junior doctor, faced with postgraduate examinations, is always going to be poorly prepared for those increasingly important subjects. This book presents the essential information in the form of lists, tables, diagrams and flow charts.

Includes 21 chapters that cover the syllabus for the MRCP 1 examination. This title features vital medical facts presented in note format to aid revision. It offers the reassurance of being up-to-date with the facts that matter. It contains key points presented in diagrams, illustrations, lists, tables and mnemonics to aid learning.

Recognition of the importance of the basic sciences in medicine has led to a growing emphasis on such questions in both the MRCP part 1 and 2 examinations. This book was written in response to the need for a revision guide of the core basic sciences, namely genetics, microbiology, immunology, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, statistics, and epidemiology. In this second edition the immunology and genetics chapters have been updated along with a section on molecular medicine.

Neurological disorders account for 10% of consultations in primary care and 20% of acute hospital admissions, yet there is good evidence that 'neurophobia' is common among medical students lost in unnecessary detail. This has led to neurology's long-established reputation as a difficult subject. This book is the antidote to neurophobia. It is divided into four sections: Section I introduces the reader to clinical neurology by summarising the basic aspects of a neurological consultation including history and examination; Section II covers neurological signs related to cranial nerves, motor and sensory system and peripheral nerve lesions; Section III comprises the major and common diseases such as headache, epilepsy, stroke, Parkinson's disease and Multiple sclerosis; and Section IV addresses other main neurological problems. The scope of this book is limited to only the most fundamental principles and omits all superfluous detail - ideal for medical students needing a concise introduction to neurology and an overview for revision.

This concise revision text brings together the fundamentals of the basic sciences required for Obstetrics and Gynaecology trainees to pass the MRCOG Part 1 exam. A note-style format and over 100 illustrations make this the ideal revision guide to passing the exam.
