This classic book has been providing help for candidates of the MRCGP exam for over 20 years. Now fully updated for UK trained doctors wishing to obtain a Certificate of Completion of Training in General Practice, this new edition covers all three required components of the integrated assessment programme. It provides sample questions for the Applied Knowledge Test (AKT), practice cases for Clinical Skill Assessment (CSA) and a guide to Workplace Based Assessment (WPBA). 
The chapters follow the 16 sections of the RCGP curriculum and include summaries of the current evidence base with clinical guidelines, examination tips, revision tactics, and advice on where to get support – but not just at the crucial time of exams – it includes invaluable information for GPs starting their first year in practice and helps provide the “life skills” needed to be a GP, including topics relevant for the rest of a GP’s career and their "continuing professional development” – appraisal, revalidation, managing change, teamwork, burnout, and other areas of self care.

The aim of this book is to help trainees and trainers prepare for the Royal College of General Practitioners' (RCGP) Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA). The guidance and walkthrough videos will help you to gain a better understanding of the approach to physical examination necessary to meet the examination standard. In the CSA, candidates are required to select and perform the physical examination expected of a competent general practitioner within the context of a 10-minute general practice consultation. Translating that standard into practical guidance for an individual case is complex, not least due to the differences in approach that exist amongst trainees, trainers and examiners. This book provides practical guidance by summarising the consensus opinion of 293 GP trainers and 16 CSA examiners for a series of typical CSA scenarios. The findings are presented along with notes and guidance.Dr Boeckx and Dr Marlow are experienced CSA tutors and Fellows of the RCGP and have taught on the CSA since its inception. Both tutor regularly for the RCGP and provide expert teaching on physical examination alongside senior examiners and consultation skills experts. Their work has been recognised by the RCGP with a Quality Award. If you are preparing for the CSA or helping others prepare, this book is here to help you.
