Reviews

"This is a well structured, balanced, referenced and indexed book with a good layout, summarising the amount of information needed for FRCA. I would recommend this book as an excellent reference text for trainees preparing for the FRCA exam and a quick reference aide-memoir for any anaesthesia practitioner."
