The realm of emergency medicine is perpetually evolving, and concomitantly, the impartation of competencies and proficiencies is expanding. Furthermore, each successive cohort of emergency physicians necessitates supplementary knowledge and aptitudes to meet the necessities of their training tenure. Consequently, acquiring requisite proficiencies has assumed augmented significance within emergency medicine instruction.Procedural and ultrasonographic proficiencies have garnered recognition from the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) as being notably advantageous and integral to all assessments the institution conducts. This escalating importance primarily stems from the heightened emphasis on patient safety and the heightened stringency of standards in accredited training regimens.With the advent of technological advancements and the widespread availability of ultrasonographic apparatus within numerous emergency departments, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has emerged as a quintessential skill imperative for every emergency physician to possess. When judiciously executed, POCUS confers appreciable advantages in the precision of interventions and mitigates sundry complications. Ergo, attaining a specific threshold of skill proficiency becomes imperative to complete ultrasonography with accuracy and avert potential patient complications.The RCEM has promulgated a comprehensive catalogue of proficiencies that an emergency department physician should comprehend. Additionally, emergency department clinicians must reveal familiarity with the indications, contraindications, anatomical landmarks, and plausible complications associated with each procedural modality. Beyond a meticulous comprehension of emergency procedures, the present compendium is an invaluable resource for medical students and emergency care practitioners. Within its pages, emergency physicians will encounter many insights concerning established and burgeoning issues pertinent to procedural and ultrasonographic proficiencies.

This new "FRCEM PRIMARY: All-In-One Notes" provides a comprehensive body of information important to an understanding of the Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Hematology, Pathology and Evidence Based Medicine required for the Primary exams. It remains the premier Emergency Medical textbook for candidates preparing for that exam.With the rapidly expanding base of medical knowledge and the time constraints, it is not always possible to read a comprehensive account of all the subjects or read individual textbooks in itself. A method needed to be developed where in all the information required for the primary exam could be summarized, concepts could be explained as well as all the information that could possibly be questioned about needed to be dealt with in a concise and precise manner.It was for these reasons, among others, that the primary book was first condensed in 2015. The initial idea was to serve as a ready source of well-crafted and informative topics that will be useful "on-the-spot" and that will prepare the reader for a more in-depth learning.The book's full-color format & the use of diagrams enables one to learn concepts in depth & at the same time provide a quick view of main topics that have been asked & could most likely be asked. The new layout and numerous additional colourful images and illustrations will aid the candidate to convert abstract information into easily retrievable mental images using the visualisation and association technique as well as make locating information easier.

In preparation for sitting the FRCEM Primary examination, all applicants are strongly advised to familiarise themselves with the Basic Sciences Curriculum. Certain books proved challenging and time consuming due to various mistakes and misprints. This has led to the reason behind my own compilation, risking my exam if the sources were not accurate.What colleagues will find in my book are short, precise explanations of terms and concepts that are written in a systematic manner according to the curriculum. My experience and success post exam have shaped my inspiration to advance the material found in this book. As a result, users of my book will find at the end of every chapter several past asked questions carefully laid out and explained where necessary so that they can follow along. I have also included real past exam questions submitted to me by colleagues who have sat previous exams.Candidates won't find an intimidating page of endless drills in my book, but instead will read chapters in a systematic manner. They will also be able to augment their knowledge using different formats (True/False). Not only there is an abundance of skill-building questions, I have also researched a wide variety of realistic images and diagrams. With all of these resources to choose from, I am sure that colleagues will be comfortable adapting my book to fit their practice and that they will appreciate having a text written for their level and to stimulate their interest. A correct usage of these compiled notes and a good practice of some included exam questions will certainly place your name in the passing box.

Critical reading of research reports increases the practitioner's understanding of the research process.Doctors undertaking research of their own will eventually benefit from empowering their critical evaluation skills by assisting them to appraise their own research projects and enhance their skills at all stages of the research process from project design to writing the final report. Readers will be guided through the processes and provided with information on the factors that can affect the quality of the literature search and the research articles found.Exercises and past exams are inserted to reinforce the reader's understanding of the text.
