This is the only guide you need to pass the MRCS Part B OSCE examination. Packed with essential exam tips, and filled with comprehensive revision notes on the areas covered in the exam, the book also features practice scenarios with model answers in the exam format. Written by an editor and author team with extensive experience, it helps the reader through the difficult topics that can often trip up candidates, like communication and history-taking skills.

It covers the anatomy, physiology and pathology in each of these four speciality areas along with detailed clinical exam scenarios and a bank of likely clinical questions and model answers.
