Neurology for Mrcp. the Essential Guide to Neurology for Mrcp Part 1, Part 2 and Paces

Description

This book is the essential revision guide for neurology in the Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP). Neurology has been rated as the most difficult subject in MRCP examinations and there has been no concise and easy-to-use revision guide to help candidates through the exams until now. Neurology for MRCP is written by two experienced neurologists who have taught both the written (Part 1 and Part 2) and clinical (PACES) sections of the exam. This pioneering new book will also be useful for medical students sitting for their final examinations and for doctors who are preparing for the PLAB examination.
