Main description:

Closely aligned to the GP curriculum and reflecting the latest format for the RCGP Membership exams, this book offers revision for the Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA) exam, which forms part of the compulsory MRCGP. Contains four practice exam 'circuits' - one of which is completely new. Each practice exam 'circuit' reflects the curriculum domains that candidates will encounter in the real CSA exam. Mirroring the CSA exam, each 'circuit' includes 13 commonly-encountered clinical consultation cases, plus a 'bonus case', offering additional preparation. Each case includes case notes, brainstorm areas, candidate and role-player instructions, and tips on what to look out for in the exam. Features unique input from Dr Peter Havelock, international consultation expert and creator of the GP Consultation model, upon which the GP curriculum is based. With editorial contribution from a successful CSA candidate, grounding the book in reality.
