Written in a succinct, user-friendly manner and covers the main components of the syllabus. As a revision guide this works very well... This book is well worth the investment and would definitely recommend it to colleagues preparing for their membership exams.

5 Stars: Readable and concise - a valuable tool for exam preparation!
I like this book - it is easy to read, contains most key points for the exams and is not too heavy to carry around! There are other books which also cover similar material and perhaps have more photos/pictures, but I find that in particular, this book is good for getting information across quickly and in an organised manner. The topics are arranged in the format of exam revision headings, and within each topic, clear headings, subheadings and bullet points make memorising for exams so much less taxing! I would definitely recommend this useful tool as a textbook to read when preparing for stressful exams e.g. MRCPCH 1.
