Main description:

This latest edition has been comprehensively updated to include new information on the latest clinical evidence, national guidelines, and from the recent medical literature:

all existing cases have been revised
new cases have been added to cover pre-diabetes and premature ejaculation
psoriasis, sore throat, thyroid disease and the PSA test are covered in even more detail

The first three editions have helped thousands of candidates through the CSA exam. The original approach has therefore been retained so the book continues to offer readers a concise 'need-to-know' guide to passing the CSA, with the emphasis on successfully completing a case in the allotted ten minutes using a structured consultation framework that works.

The aim of the book is to leave exam candidates with more time to concentrate on passing the CSA exam itself.
