The essential guide to passing the MRCPCH Applied Knowledge in Practice (AKP) exam.
Closely aligned with the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) theory examination syllabus, and reflective of current UK practice, Applied Knowledge in Paediatrics equips readers with a thorough understanding of all core topics relevant to paediatrics and child health. It also serves as a valuable study aid for those preparing for the MRCPCH Applied Knowledge in Practice examination.
The book covers the development of illnesses in children and young people, appropriate investigations and treatments, the urgency of intervention, and the impact of diseases on both the child and their family.
Edited by Dr. Martin Hewitt, a Senior Theory Examiner for the AKP exam, and Dr. Roshan Adappa, a Senior Clinician and postgraduate trainer, this comprehensive text benefits from the expertise of more than 60 paediatric specialists. Its 33 chapters offer detailed insights into all areas of paediatric practice. -- provided by publisher.
