The twenty-four chapters cover clinical and non-clinical 'hot topics' likely to be encountered by MRCGP candidates in the written and oral parts of the exam. Many of the topics were prompted by questions from the author's registrars, and they also reflect problems commonly encountered in general practice. Coverage ranges from discussion of chronic fatigue syndrome, cystitis and glue ear to violence in General Practice as well as complaints and disciplinary procedures. The first text to provide this information in such a easily accessible form, the author's aim has been to gather together relevant material currently available only across a wide range of literature. This new book should prove invaluable to the MRCGP candidate and qualified GP alike.
