The Primary FRCA is a marathon exam that requires candidates to concentrate on solving MCQs first and then prepare for the OSCE and SOE viva. The EDAIC Part 1 involves MCQs, and Part 2 uses viva to test candidates. All these exams demand a strong knowledge of basic sciences relevant to anaesthesia. The Fast Facts content aids quick revision in the lead up to the examinations and maximises the chances of exam success.

Covering all the high-yield facts together with concept building, the content ensures that students benefit at all stages of their preparation, especially during the last few weeks before examinations. Past MCQs and core viva concepts have been presented in bullet points, tabular format and diagrams for easy assimilation. The Primary FRCA is shifting towards asking SBAs, and this book covers both the SBA and MTF formats of MCQs. It includes over 180 topics, and is subdivided into sections on Physiology, Pharmacology, Physics and Anatomy.

The key ingredient to get through any exam is confidence. By facilitating timely revision of the entire curriculum, this book makes sure that candidates for both the Primary FRCA and for the EDAIC will enter the examination hall with a positive mindset and comprehensive knowledge of the basic sciences required by anaesthetists.

Quite impressive. The bullet point format makes complex topics easy to digest, the tables are clear, and the diagrams are a great visual aid. Its succinctness is perfect for a quick overview of the curriculum in the days leading up to the exam. Definitely a helpful resource! - Dr Muzzammil Ali A comprehensive resource… it provides concise and updated information, making it particularly useful for last-minute revision. I highly recommend this book to all for last minute primary FRCA/ EDAIC revision. - S. Sapra Most of the available resources are either too vast, requiring infinite patience, or too factual, requiring rote learning… this book is a perfect balance, bringing across the most high-yield points whilst providing explanations too wherever necessary! 100 percent recommend this book for fast and effective revision! - Chandrima B.
