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.
