The CSA Case book has been written with 26 cases to emulate two circuits of the RCGP CSA examination. Each case has been written to a similar standard to the examination and includes nuances arounds cues, communication skills and complex negotiation stations. The book includes an introductory chapter that explains all the key skills one would need to employ during a doctor - patient consultation. The clinical cases have been written in a similar format as what would be expected in the RCGP examination with a doctor consultation brief as well as an actor brief so that you can practice with friends. At the end of each case is a full explanation walk-through that has been thoroughly researched according to recent guidance and gives you the relevant history, examination and management plans needed to excel in the exams. This book should help you understand and meet the key communication skills and competencies expected to excel in the CSA exams. This Book The MRCGP CSA Cases book has been divided into two sections; an introductory section that goes into detail about the key communication and interpersonal skills needed for the exams, as well as a section that contains challenging MRCGP CSA cases. We have written the cases to reflect the standard of the harder end of the examination spectrum and have tried to combine medical knowledge, with cues, and concerns that so often throw and confuse registrars. For each case we have a candidate brief, a comprehensive actors brief and a case walk-through, which we would consider to be the best-practice approach for that scenario. We have tried our best to make the cases as realistic as possible but to a level of complexity that can be completed in a 10 minute consultation. Written by the GP facilitators of the CSA prep course. www.csaprep.co.uk
