Ebook: Essential Revision Notes in Paediatrics for the MRCPCH (PasTest)

Preface to the Third Edition
The first edition of Essential Revision Notes for the MRCPCH was in response to the candidates
often expressed desire for a single text covering essential information required for the examination in
a clear and concise way. The format of the examination has changed considerably over the 10 years
since, although the need for a sound knowledge base of the principles and practice of paediatrics
remains crucial for success. We have been delighted with the response to the first and second edition
of this text and the consistent positive feedback from trainees. The third edition has been completely
revised and extensively updated and we hope will continue to be considered as relevant to the
examination and future paediatric practice.
We are indebted to the many contributing authors, experts in their fields and expert clinical teachers.
We are indebted to PASTEST for their continued enthusiastic support.
We are also indebted to the candidates for their enthusiasm and commitment to the speciality and hope
very much that this new edition of Essential Revision Notes for the MRCPCH will continue to help
trainees to get through their paediatric membership and be useful to them subsequently as an up to
date and relevant paediatric textbook.
