About the Book

Distinctively pairing video footage and role-play scenarios, How to Pass the CSA Exam presents a broad range of consultations in the most common clinical areas a trainee or GP ST3 is likely to encounter, to reinforce core knowledge and skills. Cases cover the entire CSA case selection blueprint, with a range of acute, chronic, undifferentiated, psychosocial and preventative cases in the different disease areas. The two DVDs feature over 3 hours of consultations drawn from real life experience, with step-by-step explanations and points highlighted for examination, and include filmed panel discussion and feedback. The accompanying guidebook mirrors the video content, with explanatory text, advice on how the exam works and how role players are briefed, 'CSA Plus' resources on broader issues encountered in everyday general practice, and links to relevant guidelines, e-learning modules, and further resources. Developed by GP trainers, educators and programme directors based on their vast understanding of the consultation and exam process and proven experience, How to Pass the CSA Exam is a thorough and systematic companion to preparing for these examinations to help you optimise your skills and prepare for early practice life. Includes consultations in: • Diabetes • Depression • Back pain • Dementia • Breaking bad news DVDs feature: • 12 consultations (with trainee reflection and trainer feedback) (Duration approx. 180 minutes) • Top tips from round-table discussions with trainees who recently passed the CSA exam (Duration approx. 30 minutes) The authors of How to Pass the CSA Exam also provide a high quality, up-to-date and comprehensive course specifically designed for excelling in the MRCGP exam, featuring mock AKT paper and CSA exam with actors as role-players.
