These concise revision notes are aimed at candidates preparing for UK and international FRCS (Trauma & Orthopaedics) exit examination as well as the European Board (EBOT) and SICOT diplomas.
The book has been written in an easy to read style, with a focus on being an exam candidate’s companion for quick revision on the go. Candidates are usually caught between a busy job and the demands of these challenging exams. This book covers the depth and breadth of Trauma & Orthopaedics knowledge to help candidates sail through the Fellowship exit examinations.
We have aimed to provide a high quality one stop concise knowledge bank to cover the whole syllabus of Trauma & Orthopaedics in a well organised bullet point style.
This will provide a useful resource for both part 1 (MCQs, EMQs) as well as part 2 (Viva and Clinical) components of the exit examinations. It is an ideal companion to complement your preparation for the examination with the most useful information presented in the most succinct manner.
The authors are senior members of the FRCS Mentor Group who have between them ample up to date experience and knowledge with the Fellowship examination. They have attended most postgraduate orthopaedic courses in the UK and internationally, and have reviewed all relevant exam book. They have excellent track records of helping many candidates to pass their exams.
This book is complemented by hundreds of diagrams, illustrations, radiographs and clinical images. There are QR codes interspersed within the chapters which when scanned using your smartphone camera, link up to either the corresponding open-access seminal paper or to a YouTube video pertaining to the topic discussed.

FRCS Teaching Experience:
I am very passionate about teaching and have been regularly involved in formal teaching of medical students, foundation doctors and core trainees in my hospital trust, which gives me the opportunity of completing their e-portfolios, and carrying out workplace-based assessments for them. I also participate in organising seminars, tutorials, presentations, journal clubs, and OSCE clinical exams, and participate regularly as a medical students’ mock examiner in my hospital. I am on the faculty of an FRCS Mock Revision course, as well as examiner for a Core Surgical Training Interview practice course. In addition to that, I have delivered many presentations and lectures to medical students, foundation doctors and core trainees; and received a lot of positive feedback from them. This was in the form of multi-source feedback, letters of commendation and assessment forms completed at the end of the teachings. Furthermore, I have done the following courses: 1. I have completed the ‘Teach the Teacher’ course over two days, organised by Oxford Medical, focused on effective teaching skills, coaching, mentoring and how to provide effective feedback to junior doctors and students. 2. Fit-2 Teach Modules 1, 2, 3 & 4 (focussing on work-place based teaching, assessments and delivery of effective feedback to students, foundation doctors and core trainees). 3. Effective Teaching Skills (ETS) For Registrars, the Royal College of Physicians, done in Liverpool. 4. I have also done a Coaching and Mentoring course organised by Health Education East of England, which enhanced my mentoring and coaching skills. .
