Opis

This greatly expanded, revised and updated new edition of the Guide comprehensively covers every aspect of the new membership examination of the Royal College of General Practitioners, the nMRCGP registered]. It takes you through all the main medical topics fundamental to general practice, all relevant non-clinical areas, and practice for the examination itself. Use this book as a starting point, a guide, or for summing up to ensure you are as well read as you think you are. The aim is to save you the colossal amount of time you would otherwise need to cover the same ground and have all the information you need in one place. 'General Practice is a fantastic career and the MRCGP has always been a worthwhile exam to work for. You will get an incredible amount out of it that will form a solid base for your career, if you are willing to put in the time and effort. Enjoy, and good luck ' - Sarah Gear.
