Synopsis

The MRCGP examination is now a necessity for all doctors wishing to enter general practice. Adopting a "short notes" format and concentrating on non-clinical aspects, this book aims to provide all the material that candidates require. In recent years, general practice has undergone much re-organization with the implementation of the white paper "Working for Patients" and the new GP contract. As a result, a large proportion of this edition has been rewritten. It now includes coverage of the GPs' new terms of service, the effect of the white paper, recent changes in the format of the examination, new coverage of AIDS, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, breast cancer and lipid screening, osteoporosis, post-viral syndrome (ME), the data protection act and the issue of doctors advertising. Chapters on practice matters now cover the consultation, prevention and screening, clinical dilemmas, social medicine, social diseases, legal and ethical matters, schedules and advice, allied services and the examination itself. This new edition also includes new coverage of statistics and epidemiology, facts and figures.
