Intercollegiate
MRCS
Revision Notes
http://www.medicalto.com/20204

These revision notes have been written to aide candidates preparing for postgraduate surgical
examinations, in particular the Intercollegiate MRCS and have been prepared to complement
standard surgical textbooks. They have been edited to the same format as the MRCS syllabus
and are presented as a unique combination of notes and bullet points. Each section has a
bibliography of recently published review and original articles which have been selected for their
relevance and readability. Pressure of space has necessitated a selective approach to the
topics included. It is however, hoped that along with the Royal College of Surgeons of England
STEP Course, the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh SELECT Course and standard
surgical texts they will prove a useful revision tool. Variations in surgical practice will inevitably
mean that there will be disagreement with some of the views and recommendations presented.
In these contencious areas an attempt has been made to include opinions that are not too
extreme and will hopefully satisfy most examiners.

To complement the book, a web site has been established with clinical images, x-rays,
pathology slides, a selection of clinical and basic science multiple choice questions and reviews
of recent papers and much more.

Both the web site and these notes have evolved with time. Publishing these notes on the
internet has allowed them to be updated on a regular basis. In order for them to remain
relevant to trainees needs it is essential that feedback is received from both trainees and
trainers regarding their format and content. If you have suggestions or comments they will
gladly be received.
