 Rating:  - An excellent book for those who plan to take up mrcs part 1This book offers an excellent guide and revision for the new intercollegiete mrcs part one. It is very comprehensive and covers almost all aspects of the basic sciences. If you want to read a single book to pass the mrcs part one this is it. It will also help you to get throught your mrcs part 3 anatomy and physiology vivas.I would highly recommend this book, especially it is ideal to start with. Rating:  - Pretty good book but only thatI think some of this book is excellent. However, some sections are awful, like the orthopaedic section. As a previous reviewer has said, this particular section is almost a very long winded way of saying "ensure you know your anatomy well" without actually giving the core facts - well worth £50 or so to be told that! Some of the immunology section is overboard in my view as a trainee surgeon. Sadly that is why I have only given it three stars. I hope the next edition will be improved as I am sure it would absolutely fantastic. Rating:  - Don't bother with thisJust passed the viva and used this book (amongst others). All I can say is don't bother. It is a valiant attempt at including all the science you need for the MRCS but it fails. It covers nothing in sufficient detail and most of the time you find yourself referring to standard texts (like Guyton for physiology, Last's for anatomy) - for example, most of the section on orthopaedics is little more than a recommendation to know musculoskeletal anatomy well, without actually covering the anatomy - well thanks! Rating: - ALL YOU NEEDin my experience, and after attending the MRCS Viva course, I believe this is all that one needs to pass the MRCS vivas, it has simply got everything, you dont need more details than that.. it may not go smoothly all the way through, but hey.. can't complain, thanks prof. for a lovely all-in-one book Rating: - Vital for making membership exams approachableWhat a brilliant book! I am in the second year of my basic surgical training and this is THE best book I have ever used. I have read many MRCS books but this is the only one that integrates basic sciences with clinical practice in a well-written, relevant and sensible manner, saving the need to be constantly flipping between piles of textbooks to try and piece together all those facts and figures. The text also highlights the most commonly made mistakes,giving you extra preparation for the exams and providing the material in a format specially devised for the MRCS. As if that were not sufficient, the presentation and quality of writing and diagrams make studying much more of a pleasure and not a chore (and I never thought I would say that!).If you are only going to buy one book for the MRCS, this has to be the one. It is the ultimate in core MRCS texts!
