Publisher's Synopsis
A new updated edition of the FRCEM Final Clinical SAQ.
This 2020 edition of the revision material has been updated to include new and revised guidance, correct typographical errors and reference all chapters as recommended by readers. It replaces the 2019 edition.
The chapters emphasise the immediate management of life-threatening problems & then present the assessment and treatment of specific disorders. In line with the curriculum of ST 1- ST 6, I have endeavoured to provide the reader with a broad-based text that is clearly and pointedly written.
My aim was not only to provide practising emergency physicians with quick access to accurate and useful information to help them in their daily work in emergency medicine but, more importantly, to help trainees succeed during their six years of training in emergency medicine.
As this text focuses on the practical aspects of emergency care, there needs to be more discussion of basic science or the pathophysiology of disease processes.
This is the only book that covers the entire syllabus and helps prepare for the FINAL Clinical SAQ. The book is helpful for all emergency medicine practitioners, including doctors, residents, medical students and doctors in training.
This edition of the FINAL Clinical SAQ contains the entire curriculum. You do not need to go through any other material to prepare for the SAQ exam. I have clearly and concisely covered the most commonly asked topics and the likely topics that might be asked in the examinations. This book not only helps prepare for the exam but is also a valuable learning tool for all years of training. The guidelines are as per the NICE & Royal College of Emergency Medicine.
Where necessary, relevant images are added to enable a better understanding of the subject and to cover possible images on which questions might be asked.
