MRCS Part A (2012–2025) Mega Recalls

Pass the MRCS Part A with confidence.
This comprehensive workbook distills 10,000+ recall-style questions mapped to every high-yield surgical and applied basic science theme tested in the MRCS Part A exam. Each item includes the correct answer, key reasoning, core surgical principles (UK 2012–2025), and a focused “exam tip or pitfall” so you learn the logic examiners reward—not just the facts.
Topics span anatomy, physiology, pathology, perioperative care, critical care, trauma, orthopaedics, neurosurgery, vascular surgery, urology, ENT, and general surgery foundations.
Built to give you depth, breadth, and pattern recognition far beyond any standard question set.
