CSA Scenarios for the MRCGP

5 x 5 Star Reviews on Amazon! Written by a GP who has passed the exam, CSA Scenarios for the MRCGP has rapidly become the best-selling CSA book on the market. Using a consistent approach to over 100 scenarios, the book provides up-to-date information in a concise and accessible manner. The unique grid-based approach (akin to your own revision cards) enables the candidate to complete any particular case within 10 minutes. This new edition continues the successful format of the first edition, but adds many new topics. The book has also been thoroughly updated to reflect changes in the latest clinical evidence, national guidelines, and from the recent medical literature.
