I read this book cover to cover out loud and made notes on it as part of my FFICM exam preparation, alongside Gillon and Flavin.

I was very grateful that a FFICM-specific OSCE book exists. This allowed me to imagine what sort of frameworks of questioning might come up, and how to approach it, and to practice. I was hugely grateful for its broad coverage and realistic scenarios. Thank you again.
