This is the second edition of the successful revision guide from Alex Phillips and Bhaskar Kumar. It has been fully updated, with new contributors, to accommodate changes in the format of the exam, and also to provide new cases that may be encountered, including scenarios relevant to the treatment and experiences of COVID 19. It draws on the very latest research and gives recommendations for further reading across a broad range of resources. It is a comprehensive guide for the FRCS General Surgery Intercollegiate exam, serving as a companion for the trainee throughout the course of the six-year training rotation. It reflects the exact framework of the exam syllabus issued by the Joint Committee on Higher Surgical Training (JCHST), and contains the most recently amended guidelines. The FRCS exam is very clinically orientated, with vivas based on a clinical scenario, using patients and images as a method of initiating discussion. This book contains hundreds of examples of such hypothetical scenarios, giving the readers the opportunity to find out and explain what they already know, to express that knowledge to the best effect, and also to focus on areas where they may need more study. There are also scenarios containing colour images for explanation and interpretation, just as will be required in the actual exam. The question and answer style used is a popular and effective method, which lends itself perfectly to studying either alone or as a group, wherein one acts as examiner and the other as candidate. Both the editors and main contributors have passed the FRCS exam in general surgery, have many years experience in postgraduate medical education and are also active in teaching and preparing candidates for the exam.

An understanding of how to manage patients in the critical care environment is a key objective of surgical training, and the MRCS viva voce examination remains an area of much anxiety for many candidates. Surgical Critical Care Vivas aims to dispel at least some of this anxiety by providing some of the most common questions that are likely to be encountered, along with detailed model answers, which help the reader to consolidate their knowledge and understand key concepts. The answers themselves are structured so that the main points needed to address the question fully are clearly summarised and easily understood. Packed with useful information presented in an accessible A-Z format, this useful book allows the busy candidate to work through any number of questions, alone or as part of a group, to practice their oral examination technique, focus on areas of weakness and most effectively plan their revision. Essential reading for MRCS/AFRCS(Ed) viva examination candidates. Also useful as an aide memoire to the junior surgeon and anaesthetist and as a quick reference and self-assessment tool for other ICU-based personnel such as emergency nurses or operating department assistants.

This revision book is an aid to those preparing for the FRCS General Surgery Section 1. The topics and chapters are taken directly from the Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum. The philosophy of this book is to focus on the level of knowledge and the approach that would be expected of the better candidates as they approach the end of their training and make the transition into consultants. In addition to the acquisition of knowledge through the process of tackling questions, the book will hopefully identify to the reader areas gaps in their knowledge base for which further study is required. Various techniques including the use of diagrams and tables are utilised to explain key facts. As per the curriculum, the book is organised into chapters in accordance with the syllabus, allowing less familiar topics such as relevant aspects in urology and gynaecology to be covered. Topics such as Gastrointestinal, HPB, Vascular, Breast and Endocrine Surgery are understandably covered in greater depth given their common occurrence in the examination. Questions are presented in a single best answer and extended matching item format, mirroring those that the candidate will encounter during the examination. This book is useful for candidates in both the early and late stages of their revision for the examination. Early familiarity with the range and depth of topics may help guide further self-directed learning. Those in the latter stages of revision can use the questions to build confidence and reinforce their knowledge. Each chapter is written by an authoritative author alongside the book editor to ensure it is relevant and informative for the reader.
