Clinical Medicine for the MRCP PACES Volume 1: Core Clinical Skills

This isn’t as concise as the pocket book, but I found it explained so many things well and helped me understand, which I preferred.

very good

I would recommend getting this book if you're just starting revision for PACES ie a few months away from the exam. It contains all the information you need and is written and presented in a easy to read format and it's all you need. I have used other books which may be colourful and present the information in all sorts of pictures and graphs but I find this book better in terms of information delivery. Would recommend! It has help me pass PACES.

Best book ever. Help with both clinical judgement and presentation skills. So many PACES books out there but this book cuts it especially when you need to be focused. Only downside is that the cases in each system are arranged randomly. So instead of following it systematically, I would recommend you look at the arrangement in Ryder and Mir, because there the cases are arranged in the order of the frequency in which they occur in the exams.

I think this book is very valuable for passing PACES.

I recently moved to the UK to work as a doctor. I bought this book to help me adjust to the way medicine is practised in the UK and also refresh my knowledge. I think this a very helpful manual.

This book has a nice format teaching you about presentation for each case and picking up on some of the common questions that might be asked at the end of each station - although arguably some of the questions go in to too much depth. However it's main problem is it is only written by 2 registrars in cardio/gastro and there are a number of mistakes that I and colleagues using this book have found without too much looking. Really a good paces book needs to be authored by a member of each speciality for each section who has a realistic idea of how much a candidate ought to know for PACES. I would however on the whole still recommend this book.

Excellent Book for PACES

I’ve purchased literally dozens and dozens of clinical medicine books . By far the most exceptional book I’ve ever come across . It unravels internal medicine in a unique unparalleled way , directly applicable to real world clinical experience . It’s like seeing patients in vivo . Complete and deep yet laid out in a way that facilitates learning . Excellent !

Must buy for anyone sitting the RACP clinical exams in Australia Very relevant and very exam focused. Used it extensively (and passed) so cant give it less than 5 stars

Nice

background: Clinical year 1, done with the pre clinical study Comments ： very useful

This "Core clinical skills" was instrumental in guiding me during my Basic physician training in Adult Internal medicine. I read it before and after my duties, cross-checking what I missed and revising what I knew. By the end of my first three months, using this book, I didn't need it anymore as it had thought me the basics that i needed to know, to be a successful physician. I also bought an extra copy and gave to a colleague who was struggling with his clinical exams. Looking forward to hearing of his success at the next clinical exams.
