Part 1 Paediatric MCQs with Individual Subject Summaries by Mark, MRCP Beattie
In this second edition, new questions have been added and existing material
has been updated. The book's hybrid format bridges the gap between standard
MCQ books and textbooks. It contains 280 exam-based paediatric MCQs written by
a team of subject specialists. Each question is accompanied by the correct
answer, plus a page-long subject summary focusing on the specific topics
likely to occur in the examination, including lists, mnemonics and bullet

longer teaching notes to counteract the need to refer to unnecessarily detailed
textbooks.
