Synopsis

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 New MRCGP. It is an evidence-based book, with completely up-to-date references linked to guidelines. It features unique input from Dr Peter Havelock, the creator of the GP Consultation model, upon which the GP curriculum is based. Each case includes case notes, brainstorm areas, candidate and role-player instructions, and tips on what to look out for in the exam. It includes personal insights from a recent CSA candidate, grounding the book in reality, to illustrate how theory can be applied to the exam - and converted to CSA success! It provides 'Online Extras' in the form of 4 video examples of both good and bad scenarios for the CSA, with commentary.
