Una Coales MD FRCS FRCSOto DRCOG DFFP MRCGP General Practitioner, London, UK £19.95,  978-1-85315-680-9,  192pp,  Paperback,  January 2005

Update, May 2005
The author of this book has clearly spent several months reading and summarising hot topics, which clearly makes the whole job easy for this year's candidates. There are two other books in this series and it is probably best read as part of a trilogy... There are particular topics that are welcomed in this book as they are so rarely covered so succinctly in other books; fitness to drive, mental health act and statistics to name but a few. I think this book will be an asset to anyone preparing for the exam and also a good aide-memoire to keep near you in your surgery.

Highly Commended in the Primary Care category, BMA Medical Book Competition 2005

This book accompanies both Get Through MRCGP: New MCQ Module and Get Through MRCGP: Oral and Video Modules. Hot Topics need updating frequently. This book contains the most up-to-date clinical guidelines (NICE, SIGN, BTS, Royal Colleges, etc.) for the management of chronic diseases, including the 2004 BTS/ NICE guidelines for COPD and 2004 BHS guidelines for hypertension. Also included is an A-Z of all hot topics that have been asked in recent exam modules. Further topics include the DVLA Guidelines for Fitness to Drive (amended in Jan 2004), welfare benefits, child development and statistics.

All topics are presented in easy to read outline format for ease of memorization. Sources for the material covered include the weekly British Medical Journal, weekly Doctor magazines, The Oxford Handbook Series, the BNF and web-sites of all current government and college guidelines. This book is therefore a culmination of several months spent reading and summarizing Hot Topics for you, the reader.
