When the time comes for exam preparation, this can make it difficult to know where to begin. This book is designed to cover a broad base of core knowledge and skills that will be useful not only in your exam preparation, but also as you begin your career as a Foundation Doctor. Presented are a range of fifty scenarios in Anaesthesia, Critical Care and Pain, demonstrating the breadth and variety of clinical experience you could expect from a career in Anaesthetics, from the Operating Theatre to the Labour Ward, ICU and the Emergency Department. The theme of clear communication runs throughout the book, reflecting its central importance in the clinical environment. In particular there are stations testing your ability to break bad news with clarity and empathy and others requiring you to convey complex technical information in an understandable way.

Providing the inside track on how the experts approach and deal with real-world clinical scenarios, Challenging Concepts in Emergency Medicine selects specific challenging cases that are encountered in everyday clinical practice but do not have simple answers. A case-based guide to challenging areas in emergency medicine, this book covers the core and sub-specialty areas, in particular the often grey areas of intensive care and paediatric emergency medicine. Complex cases are comprehensively examined from a multidisciplinary perspective with detailed consideration given to management options and the contemporary evidence base behind these decisions. An effective revision aid for MCEM and FCEM and a reference during workplace-based assessments, Challenging Concepts in Emergency Medicine highlights critical information through the use of boxed features: 'Learning points', 'Clinical tips', 'Evidence base', and 'Future advances'. Each chapter has been reviewed by a national or international expert in the field and they have provided an 'Expert commentary', giving a unique insight into how today's opinion leaders confront and deal with the very same management challenges that all clinicians can potentially face on a daily basis. Containing summaries of current national and international guidelines, this book is ideal for continuing medical education and revalidation as well as for trainees preparing for examinations.
