Passing the DO-HNS OSCE examination is vital for Higher Surgical Training in the UK and for the intercollegiate MRCS (ENT) diploma. Currently, there are only few books specifically aimed at helping candidates over the crucial hurdle. The recently published "DO-HNS and MRCS (ENT) OSCE GUIDE" by the ENT Tzar team goes some way to address this deficiency. However, the OSCE examination has evolved rapidly to encompass a wider selection of the syllabus, including rare topics, therefore it is now necessary to provide a supplementary book to reflect the broader scope. In this companion book, over 100 questions with answers are presented to save you many hours of trawling through lengthy textbooks. In addition, this book will help to cement your status as a sound ENT clinician or General Practitioner with a special interest in ENT. The list of authors comprises a successful junior Core Surgical Trainee who has recent experience of preparing the examination, a senior Higher Specialty Trainee who co-authored the parent book and a Consultant ENT Surgeon who has considerable experience in teaching (see www.enttzar.co.uk).

Ear, Nose and Throat surgery is a specialty that is often inadequately covered in Medical Schools worldwide and very few junior doctors encounter it during foundation training or internship. As a result, there is always a sense of anxiety and a feeling of entering the unknown when junior doctors, such as core surgical trainees, GP trainees, Foundation and Emergency doctors see patients with ENT conditions requiring urgent care. Currently, there is no concise guide book to address this fundamental issue without subjecting the reader to hours and hours of trawling through lengthy didactic text. With this in mind, and utilising the principles of Pointillism, the authors have put together an excellent succinct guide. The book is divided into five chapters, each consisting of urgent care conditions pertaining to (1) Ear, (2) Nose and Bronchus, (3) Throat and Oesophagus, (4) Neck and Head or (5) Complications of Treatment. All the essential information is clearly provided in 5 logical management steps: history, examination investigation(s), treatment and follow-up. Additional relevant points, tables and figures are provided to further enhance your understanding and retention of the subject matter. Like the previous two books from ENT TZAR team, this guide is lavishly illustrated with clinical photographs to optimise learning and confidence to deal with the challenges of managing urgent care conditions in Otolaryngology.

A myriad of questions similar, but not identical, to those used in the actual examination is presented in this book. Some questions deliberately raise the bar, in order to stimulate learning at the next level. Clear succinct answers are provided, along with visually-enhanced revision notes to improve understanding of key concepts and to boost confidence whilst preparing for the final hurdle. A unique feature of this book is a matching exercise on audiograms, which uncovers some of the mysteries in Clinical Audiology.
