Overview

The Clinical Cases for MRCPCH Applied Knowledge in Practice is a textbook from the UK Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. It includes questions similar to those in the MRCPCH Applied Knowledge in Practice (AKP) exam and gets to the heart of what examiners are looking for in candidate performance.Candidates will not only understand the depth of knowledge expected in the exam, they will also be able to make clinical judgements based on the presentation and physical findings of commonly occurring case scenarios. It assists candidates in making sound clinical judgements through the application of fundamental principles with an understanding of the underpinning science. The textbook works through a diagnostic conundrum from presentation, through careful history taking and examination and is supplemented by relevant investigations.
