The 3rd edition of PACES for the MRCP has been fully revised and
updated throughout to retain its pole position as the textbook to
accompany core medical training (CMT) and prepare candidates for
success in the Practical Assessment of Clinical Examination Skills
and a future specialty career.
Features
Fully revised for the new Station 5 and completely updated
throughout.
Promotes understanding and deeper learning of modern medicine
applicable to PACES and the specialist registrar.
Emphasis on clinical assessment - history-taking, examination
and communication skills - equipping candidates with appropriate
differential diagnoses from which to develop the right
diagnosis.
Encourages candidates to question "why" a diagnosis has arisen
and consider its consequences. For example, 'Heat failure' is a not
a diagnosis until a candidate has considered the differential
diagnoses of breathlessness and decided why heart failure is most
likely, and then considered its cause (not always ischaemic heart
disease), its presentation (acute, chronic, left or right
ventricular or both) and, most importantly, the effects of it and
its treatments on a patient's life.
This 3rd edition of PACES for the MRCP continues to provide
fully revised, up-to-date, evidence-based coverage of
investigations and treatments. Whilst the emphasis of PACES is on
clinical skills, candidates who understand when, for example, a
patient with rheumatoid arthritis might benefit from a biologic
agent and how this will influence inflammatory disease, is better
equipped for success.
From reviews of the previous edition:
'Hall's "PACES for the MRCP" is excellent. It is easy to follow,
carefully laid out and covers all conditions likely to appear in
each station of the exam. The author not only explains examination
techniques and clinical signs, but also goes that step further to
ensure the reader really understands each topic, using clinical
examples, question and answer/discussion sections as well as
detailed illustrations. Where this text also outshines the others
is with the inclusion of chapters covering the History Taking and
Communication/Ethics stations of the exam. The scenarios are "spot
on" and give the reader plenty of examples to work through. The
Neurology section is brilliant.' Overall: An excellent and
up-to-date text, this is the new MRCP "Bible" - don't sit your exam
without it.
'Looking through the book is a visual delight and there is lots
of excellent information there.'
'Well laid out, easy to read and utterly relevant. Also serves
as a useful reference tool post-membership too. Buy it '
Really good book. The clinical stations are well covered - in
particular this book is worth buying just for the neuro section
alone which is really easy to read and understand and gives you a
great framework for approaching clinical cases (this is also what
countless colleagues of mine have cited as the book's main selling
point )
'This is an excellent book. It is very well-written, clear,
factually correct and actually means that you know enough to hold a
conversation with the examiners. Apparently most people assume they
will pass the Hx and comm stations but commonly fail them and this
book is excellent for those with lots of information and cases to
practice. I really feel that this book has transformed the paces
market as it is so much better than the others.'
'Hall's refreshingly relevant and readable textbook is vital to
successful PACES preparation and covers all sections faced in the
exam with good detail.'
