The paediatricians who have contributed to this book bring together their experiences of teaching, training, assessment and examination in various settings. All are practising paediatricians with general paediatrics and subspecialty interests and skills.
The scenarios reproduced in the book are based on 'real' cases which the authors have encountered in their practice, and only the most suited to this book have been selected. These give the reader an idea of the challenges one may face in the examination, laying the importance not only on the diagnosis but also treating the child and adolescent with respect, and the impact of the environment on modifying physician's approach to planning the management.
This holistic approach is important in patient−physician relationship and if the candidates adequately demonstrate this skill in their examinations by verbal or nonverbal ways, it is indicative of their grasp of the problem being discussed, helps with success, and is a good way of training themselves.
Plenty of clinical scenarios are included to enhance your preparation:
• 75 communication scenarios
• 37 history scenarios
• 6 development scenarios [in the new format]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
