Following the recent changes to the psychiatry training curriculum by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, this book has been written to offer revision support for the new Clinical Assessment of Skills and Competencies (CASC) exam.

A comprehensive and accessible guide to passing the CASC, the MRCPsych practical examination.

Station 2(a): Duty to warn

The MRCPsych CASC examination tests candidates' ability to solve common problems faced by psychiatric trainees at ST4 level. The exam has a high failure rate and covers a wide syllabus, making preparation daunting and topics difficult to prioritise. Fast Revision for the MRCPsych CASC Exam condenses preparation into two dozen easy-to-read generic scenarios likely to appear in the exam. These are divided by subspecialty, allowing candidates to see and grasp what they need to know quickly. It also provides model answers at the level needed for a safe pass, along with discussion points to provide a sound, accessible basis for further learning. This will be essential reading for MRCPsych CASC candidates, but also for overseas psychiatrists trying to develop a rapid understanding of the British system.

This book is intended for psychiatric trainees sitting the CASC component of the MRCPsych exam. Written by authors with recent exam experience and long-term expertise in the field, the text provides 175 stations closely matched to the subjects that appear in the actual exam, along with concise synopses and guidelines for how to target your revision to enable recall of the most relevant information.

A book of over 150 cases which mimic the style and approach of the MRCP PACES exam. The book will equip the candidate attempting to pass the MRCP examination, and will also provide an overview of evidence-based medicine for competency-based training.
