About this title

Review

"There are a multitude of books aimed at the FRCA examination, but Clinical Notes for the FRCA deserves particular mention...This book aims to facilitate learning by reviewing current anaesthetic literature and presenting key information in a detailed but concise manner. I believe it is very successful in doing that...It is difficult to mention any weakness in this book...I have found Clinical Notes for the FRCA to be an excellent resource for both assisting my revision and highlighting gaps in my knowledge. Some colleagues have used it to help direct their revision by annotating it to create their own notes, whilst others have used it further on in their studies to ensure that they have covered all of the key topics. Either way, it has proved extremely useful in the daunting task of revising for the Final FRCA examination, and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone in a similar position."
