Publisher's Synopsis
Critical Reading Questions for the MRCGPhas consistently been one of the bestselling titles for students taking the MRCGP examinations. This new edition uses the same question and answer format as the first edition (designed to give students a feel for the time constraints and pressures of actually sitting the exam) but has been comprehensively revised to bring the book up to date. There is a new section on 'guidelines' for example and many of the definitions have been enhanced and updated. The conceptually difficult areas of 'risk' and 'numbers needed to treat' are included, as knowledge of these is essential for a thorough appreciation of research and critical appraisal techniques. Finally, the contents of the book are summarised in a handy revision section, as a last-minute reminder of the essentials on the eve of the exam.
