Customer Reviews

excellent
I am a general practitioner and hospital practitioner in rheumatology and was very pleased to come across this publication and have added a copy to our practice library as I think it is very useful for our medical students and registrars.The card format is refreshing and the contents very cleverly designed to stimulate careful thinking needing a good knowledge of the subject. It is very modern and up -to-date including questions for instance on bioterrorism, the questions have to bbe worked through carefully and retain interest. Not only testing a good knowledge of basic sciences there are also questions on practical issues relating t o general practice. There could be an improvement in the guidance to access to more information but i would strongly reccommend this to final year medical students and doctors preparing for M.R.C.P. and M.R.C.GP

PLAB Part 1 (In a Box)
' Excellent, high quality, evidence based and uptodate flash cards with concise yet detailed relevant information. The questions are thought provoking.

Beneficial for those who are about to or currently undertaking the MRCP postgraduate examinations where time constraints necessitates proper maximisation of time usage and is also a suitable revision aid which provides maximun yield and availabilitity of facts.

It can also be used in conjunction with material designed for the USMLEs and for the PLAB as well.

Palm sized dimension means that the cards can be carried around and reviewed when and where it suits you.'

Plab in a box
Using 'Plab in a box' was a fantastic aid to revision. I used it to revise for the Canadian part I exam (which i passed!!) and found it really useful. It is a much more efficient way of revising than using traditional text books alone. I found the questions clinically relevant and an aid to developing clinically orientated knowledge. The questions cover a variety of specialties and is a good way to avoid getting bored with long hours of revision!!
