This latest edition has been comprehensively updated to include new information on the latest clinical evidence, national guidelines, and from the recent medical literature: all existing cases have been revised new cases have been added to cover pre-diabetes and premature ejaculation psoriasis, sore throat, thyroid disease and the PSA test are covered in even more detail. The first three editions have helped thousands of candidates through the CSA exam in the last nine years. The original approach has therefore been retained so the book continues to offer readers a concise ‘need-to-know’ guide to passing the CSA, with the emphasis on successfully completing a case in the allotted ten minutes using a structured consultation framework that works. The aim of the book is to leave exam candidates with more time to concentrate on passing the CSA exam itself. Contents: Section 1 : An approach to the CSA Section 2 : Special GP cases Section 3 : Typical cases (Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Gastro-intestinal, Endocrinology, Musculo-skeletal, Neurology, Dermatology, ENT, Ophthalmology, Genito-urinary and men’s health, Sexual health, Renal, Women’s health, Paediatrics, Psychiatry) Appendices Review: Good - Quite an excellent read Review: okays - offers a clear, structured approach to CSA-style consultations and is particularly helpful for candidates who struggle with organisation and signposting. The scenarios are relevant and exam-focused, but the strong reliance on frameworks can feel formulaic and risks encouraging an unnatural, scripted consultation style. Clinical complexity and real-world uncertainty are sometimes oversimplified, limiting its value for more experienced trainees. Overall, it is a useful exam-oriented guide best suited to early or mid-stage candidates and should be used alongside supervised practice rather than as a standalone resource.

Good teaching and exam prep aid
Clear concise and comprehensive. As a GP trainer it has been useful both in terms of exam prep but also as a means of checking what hasn’t come up in day to day practice

Great Book!
I recently sat my CSA and used this book. It is very well laid out with excellent consultation examples and guidance to practice with. It was especially good for group learning and the layout is very user friendly and allows you to revise independently using the example "management" section of the book. I would thoroughly recommend this as a CSA resource.

Superb CSA Resource
I am a GP Trainer and found this book an excellent resource whilst helping my current ST3 prepare for his CSA. It provides a succinct evidence based summary for clinical scenarios and gives a great range to help cover the RCGP curriculum. The summary of the guidelines used is helpful to signpost trainees to the most up-to-date guidelines to help consolidate any learning. I would definitely recommend this as a resource to carry around whilst preparing for the CSA!
