Designed to help medical students through their exams. Built around the successful 'Essential Revision Notes for MRCP', this title focuses on what is essential learning for medical undergraduates and gives readers an 'all round' knowledge of medicine at this level.

This book has two main purposes: formative case analysis and self-assessment of medicine in old age. It presents clinicians with a series of cases on which to base discussion of the investigation and management of patients. It also provides the trainee, or established doctor, with a medium to help prepare for post-graduate examinations and clinical practice. The authors have chosen 109 cases, a total of 250 questions/answers, illustrated by color photographs, diagrams, and tables. The cases cover the main modes of presentation of acute illness in old age, such as fall, confusion, incontinence, weight loss and immobility, with examples from all the major systems. These illustrate the complexity of diagnosis and treatment of medical illness in frail older people and the need to think widely and laterally when caring for such patients. The questions are mostly in best-of-five format to reflect the current style of multiple choice questions used in examination, though some are open questions as the basis for tutorials. Many of the clinical stems have been expanded to improve the educational function of the book and to test more rigorously the reader’s deductive thinking.

A revision book intended primarily for candidates sitting their MRCP Part 1 examination and which covers all the essential basic sciences. It focuses on the recurring themes which come up in the questions. The book also includes a chapter on clinical pharmacology (which alone accounts for up to 30% of the questions), looking at aspects of drug-induced disease and drug interactions. Finally there is a chapter on statistics and epidemiology which is rarely covered in other texts, but is often included in the exam. Despite the changes to the teaching of the undergraduate in medicine and the integration of the basic sciences with clinical education, the junior doctor, faced with postgraduate examinations, is always going to be poorly prepared for those increasingly important subjects. This book presents the essential information in the form of lists, tables, diagrams and flow charts.

Oxford Specialty Training is a specialty revision series for postgraduate trainees taking into account the training structures and syllabuses and the busy lives of junior doctors. Training in Medicine is a complete guide to early years specialty training in medicine, and particularly focuses on core medical training. Essential for those taking the MRCP, the book covers all of the relevant areas in general medicine training, including epidemiology, evidence based medicine, and professional related issues. Each chapter covers the basic science and clinical topics which trainees are required to learn as part of their basic training and demonstrate in the MRCP. This book is authored by both trainees and specialists, and has been comprehensively edited and peer-reviewed by both groups in order to create an authoritative yet accessible text. Easy navigation is combined with discrete double-page spreads on individual topics allowing rapid access to information, making the book extremely useful in clinical practice. This is complemented by over 600 full colour illustrations, including high quality clinical photographs, images and diagrams, to aid visual memory of the topics. Breakout boxes highlight the key learning points. The organisation of the material is unique, and the topic-based design ensures easy navigation, and structured revision and learning.
