‘I enjoyed this book immensely. It is a very easy read, nicely set out for browsing (which was indeed how I started) but better read cover to cover ' — Liam M Flood FRCS FRCSI, Consultant Otolaryngologist, Middlesbrough UK 'A book that really understands its readers. Trainees preparing for their exams are led through common viva topics in an engaging question-and-answer format. The book covers all four subspecialties and is a useful and up-to-date revision tool for any exam candidate.' — Beverley Yu, ENT&Audiology News
