A completely new type of text book for the CSA, 'Succeed at the CSA - Pass the MRCGP first time - a unifying communication and practical skills guide' aims to teach you the fundamental consultation skills required to pass the CSA exam.
Combining an exploration of different consultation 'tools', with advice about consultation structure, and timing, this text breaks down the consultation into small chunks and exposes the key to scoring highly in each of them. It aims to give a structure to your consultation, without making your style formulaic. It even includes some elements of neurolinguistic programming, and CBT, to give your performance an edge in the exam.
In addition, the final section gives general advice on how to prepare for the exam, and how to set up, and run, a small revision group.
Be fully prepared for the CSA with this text, and give yourself the best chance of success, first time.
4/5 Stars
-The author passed the CSA at his first attempt, so is well placed to offer practical tips as well as his own view of consultation skills
-Succinct and written in an informal style. What this book does is summarise many of the key skills as well as offering the author's own experience.
-Of value to those suffering from CSA revision 'overload': if your consultation style has changed so much that it has lost its way, this book should help get you back on track.
