Cases Workbook for the MRCGP 4e has been extensively updated for the new SCA exam ? all cases have been fully updated for telephone and video consultation practice!

Now in full colour and available in two formats:

• Hardback (Ring-bound) edition (ISBN 9781914961571) ? pages and bespoke binder together. The most convenient format


• Looseleaf pages (ISBN 9781914961441) ? you supply your own ring binder. The most cost-effective format

It is designed to be used by GP revision groups practising for the exam and features over 100 cases aligned to the new RCGP Blueprint areas and also to the updated curriculum.

• The loose-leaf design makes the practice consultations as exam-like as possible, allowing each member of the revision group to act as ?doctor?, ?patient? or ?observer? and to take out just the pages they need.


• Along with easy-to-use marking schemes for every case, the cases include smartphone links to guide readers to useful resources.

To help further with revision, for each RCGP curriculum area the book provides:

• possible cases ? lists the cases most likely to come up in the exam (including emergency and special cases)


• revision notes ? fully updated with the latest NICE and SIGN guidelines, plus other helpful references and websites, to guide your revision


• material for the patient ? resources that you could usefully direct the patient towards in the consultation (including after you have passed!)


• practice explanations ? topics, tests and procedures that you should be able to describe quickly


• practice examinations ? procedures you should be able to undertake confidently as a practising GP.
