The Unofficial Guide to Passing the FRCS (VASC)
by James Forsyth
This is a highly pragmatic and
down-to-earth guide to the “real world” of vascular surgery, written to
help trainees pass the FRCS (Vasc) Examination the first time around,
hopefully with flying colours! Through clear and concise chapters, a
review of relevant vascular surgery papers, a solid grounding in
up-to-date and relevant UK and European guidelines, and mock
examination questions, this book should give candidates a fighting
chance at exam success.
Using his
early experience, and insight gained from senior consultant vascular
surgeons and mentors, author James Forsyth dispenses both facts and
pearls of wisdom as he takes the prospective vascular surgeon through
the core topics pertinent to a day one vascular consultant.
This guide specifically covers:
- “Building
a strong foundation” with a focus on patient counselling, presentation
skills, clear documentation, professionalism, and a foundational grasp
of the key evidence base for vascular surgery
- “Core
vascular surgery topics” from chronic limb-threatening ischaemia to
aorto-iliac aneurysms to symptomatic carotid artery disease to chronic
venous disease
- Pragmatic guide to the “bread & butter” vascular surgery operations
- Fifty
mock SBA assessment questions and answers, and numerous mock FRCS
short and long cases that are blended into reality-based discussions to
draw out key learning points
This
book is essential to any budding vascular surgeon intending to sit the
FRCS (Vasc) examinations, and those who are about to start off as real
day one consultant vascular surgeons. Indeed, the FRCS (Vasc)
Examination is a bridge to becoming a true consultant vascular surgeon,
and this book therefore is a “must-read” for anyone looking to cross
that bridge.
