Main description:

Volume 2 completes the definitive guide for candidates preparing for the intercollegiate MRCS exam. Taken together, the two books offer a truly comprehensive revision guide. This substantial innovative volume has been written by surgical trainees for surgical trainees. An experienced and highly relevant list of contributors has been drawn upon to present specialist knowledge to the reader. Developed to make learning easier, boxes are used throughout the text to give a clear, succinct breakdown of essential knowledge. Unlike conventional textbooks, the essential facts in each subject area are presented in note form with special attention given to areas that are often poorly understood. Also available: "Essential Revision Notes for Intercollegiate MRCS Book 1" (ISBN 9781904627364).
