Consultation skills for the MRCGP - P. Naidoo

by demonstrating some of the required consultation skills on the accompanying DVD, which features 13 typical consultations

by identifying and teaching these skills in a further 20 case write-ups - these offer readers an ordered, step-wise approach to data gathering, clinical management and interpersonal skills

*by giving candidates 15 practice cases (completely new for the second edition) for use either alone or in small groups; these cases now feature marking schemes.

The book and DVD are meant to be interactive, with some of the DVD cases being accompanied by a CSA marking schedule for readers to assess the candidate's performance. Readers are asked if the doctor on the DVD:

asked the right questions, at the right time, in the right way

performed the right examination correctly

communicated in a precise, understandable and sensitive manner
