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.

Essential Revision Notes in Surgery for Medical Students provides detailed 'need to know' information for medical students. Third year students wishing to reinforce their knowledge will find it invaluable as will 5th years wanting to prepare for their examinations. This new title focuses on what is essential learning for medical undergraduates and gives readers an 'all round' knowledge of surgery at this level. It includes essential elements of theoretical knowledge and clinical diagnosis combined into a quick but thorough revision aid. Popular conditions are used to illustrate key learning points. Concise information is contained within an easy to follow format. Each chapter is written by experienced authors within their fields.

Neurological disorders account for 10% of consultations in primary care and 20% of acute hospital admissions, yet there is good evidence that 'neurophobia' is common among medical students lost in unnecessary detail. This has led to neurology's long-established reputation as a difficult subject. This book is the antidote to neurophobia. It is divided into four sections: Section I introduces the reader to clinical neurology by summarising the basic aspects of a neurological consultation including history and examination; Section II covers neurological signs related to cranial nerves, motor and sensory system and peripheral nerve lesions; Section III comprises the major and common diseases such as headache, epilepsy, stroke, Parkinson's disease and Multiple sclerosis; and Section IV addresses other main neurological problems. The scope of this book is limited to only the most fundamental principles and omits all superfluous detail - ideal for medical students needing a concise introduction to neurology and an overview for revision.

Covering both medicine and surgery, this book is the essential revision companion for all medical students and a valuable source of knowledge for junior doctors at all stages of their training. It is useful both in the early preparatory phase of revision as well as for last minute cramming, and for use on the wards. This book divides the medical and surgical curricula into over twenty key sections and concisely covers the relevant information for each, including definitions, aetiology, key clinical features, investigations, and management. Examinations for undergraduate medical students and at postgraduate level can take a number of forms, including multiple choice and extended matching questions, single best answers, short notes, vivas and OSCEs. The book provides the necessary information to tackle all these exam formats successfully, as well as to manage each topic competently should it arise in clinical practice. Compact and user-friendly, this book is the ideal revision tool.

Suitable for candidates preparing for the intercollegiate MRCS exam, this title presents the essential facts in each subject area in note form with special attention given to areas that are often poorly understood.
