The book also involved professionals with backgrounds inclusive of medical law, medical ethics, psychology and medical education, all of whom helped in sewing together realistic and challenging scenarios with valuable learning points. The questions in this book were piloted amongst junior doctors to further help validate the consistency of the responses. The explanations provided in this book are supported by numerous references to the GMC guidelines, in order to maximise their reliability, and provide a clear rationale for the correct answers.
