A completely new type of text book for the CSA, 'Succeed at the CSA - Pass the MRCGP first time - a unifying communication and practical skills guide' aims to teach you the fundamental consultation skills required to pass the CSA exam. Now in a completely updated and revised third edition. Combining an exploration of different consultation 'tools', with advice about consultation structure and timing, this text breaks down the consultation into small chunks and exposes the key to scoring highly in each of them. It aims to give a structure to your consultation, without making your style formulaic. It even includes some elements of neurolinguistics programming and CBT to give your performance an edge in the exam. In addition, the final section gives general advice on how to prepare for the exam, and how to set up and run a small revision group. Be fully prepared for the CSA with this text, and give yourself the best chance of success, first time. Fully revised and updated for the 2017 edition, including new sections on psychiatry as well as further advice on role play and keeping a clear mind for the exam. Praise for the First Edition: 4/5 Stars Editorial review in Innovait journal -The author passed the CSA at his ﬁrst attempt, so is well placed to offer practical tips as well as his own view of consultation skills -Succinct and written in an informal style. What this book does is summarise many of the key skills as well as offering the author's own experience. -Of value to those suffering from CSA revision 'overload': if your consultation style has changed so much that it has lost its way, this book should help get you back on track. 15 January 2014 InnovAiT journal Dr Vasandhara Thoroughgood Excerpts from Amazon reviews of the 1st edition: 'Takes the fear out of the CSA' 'Personally I used many of the techniques he suggested and I too past first time. Great book.' 'Thank you for writing this book!! There are a whole host of books claiming to teach trainees everything they need to know for the CSA, crammed with dense medical facts. However this is the first book to attempt to explain what examiners are looking for, and provide a generic, friendly and useful structure with which to tackle any scenario presented. It is easy to read and therefore easily absorbed. In conjunction with the clinical knowledge gained for the AKT this book will be invaluable for those preparing for their CSA.'
