A unique revision guide aimed at candidates preparing for the MRCS examinations. The Part A exam tests knowledge of both basic science and the principles of surgery in general, and this textbook contains all the essential facts in one easy-to-read volume. There is a focus on the most common questions asked pertaining to anatomy (representing 42% of the MRCS Part A paper 1) as well as other common areas frequently asked about in both the Part A and B examinations, although the focus of this book is the Part A examination. The Anatomy coverage includes line diagrams, short easy-to-recall text and bullet point lists to ensure that revision time is maximised for exam success. High-yield content in the areas of Physiology, Pathology, Pharmacology and Mathematics is also included. The content has been designed specifically to help junior doctors memorise essential surgical facts,and further provides a convenient aide-memoire that will save hours of note taking.This will be particularly useful in the pressured run up to the MRCS examination.
