Main description:

This is the definitive guide from PasTest for candidates preparing for the MRCPCH exam. This innovative volume has been written by paediatricians for paediatric trainees. 24 specialty-based chapters provide concise information in an accessible format. Developed to make learning easier, boxes are used throughout the text to give a clear, succinct breakdown of essential knowledge. The facts in each chapter are presented in note form with special attention given to areas that are often poorly understood. This title covers every major subject in the MRCPCH syllabus, and works systematically through every paediatric topic likely to come up in the exam, highlighting important lists to learn and vital points to remember. It features new chapters on Clinical Governance, Emergency Paediatrics, Ethics and Law, Hepatology, Orthopaedics, Neonatal and General Paediatric Surgery. The book is written in an easy, informal 'revision note' style, with a punchy bullet point format, and is clearly laid-out with dozens of line drawings to aid understanding. This new title is part of PasTest's MRCPCH range. For further details of other titles for the MRCPCH examination, visit website.
