So, FRCEM final revision materials: What worked well for me a little guide:

Firstly I can& #39;t recommend RCEM learning enough:

https://www.rcemlearning.co.uk/saq/

The">https://www.rcemlearning.co.uk/saq/"... SAQs are fantastic, but don& #39;t forget there are cases and learning sessions. If you are in training link it to eportfolio.

Question banks:

The 2 I used are

https://frcemsuccess.com/ ">https://frcemsuccess.com/">... and https://qfrcem.co.uk/ ">https://qfrcem.co.uk/">... I much prefered FRCEMsuccess, though it is aimed at the intermediate I found that there was enough overlap to make them useful (It is also cheaper than qFRCEM)

Life in the fast lane: Of course, who wouldn& #39;t use it? But their 100 best ECG cases were amazing and there is loads of extra information in their ECGapedia as well! https://litfl.com/top-100/ecg/ ">https://litfl.com/top-100/e...

Top 100 ECG • LITFL • Clinical Cases EKG Electrocardiography

Clinical cases and self assessment to enhance interpretation skills through ECG problems. Preparation for examinations.

While we are on LITFL my old employer Geelong health has their SAQ course posted up there: Slightly different to UK Practise but the questions are good and worth talking through! https://litfl.com/exams/acem-fellowship/geelong-health-practice-saq/">https://litfl.com/exams/ace...

Geelong Health Practice SAQ • LITFL • Examination Library

Trail exam produced by Geelong Health for the written fellowship. See more trial SAQs on LITFL.com and other fellowship resources.

RCEM guidelines: Read them, all of them, summairse them, sleep on top of them to absorb them by osmosis.

https://www.rcem.ac.uk/RCEM/Quality-Policy/Clinical_Standards_Guidance/RCEM_Guidance.aspx

They">https://www.rcem.ac.uk/RCEM/Qual... are all good, but the MCA in the ED guideline is probably the best, covers a lot of ED specific stuff: like police/136 etc

Learning about when to break confidentiality was a big thing on the list:

https://www.themdu.com/guidance-... href=" https://twitter.com/AlexNevard/status/1278974428408426496

These">https://twitter.com/AlexNevar... are a few of the resources I used to help understand it all!

The lovely people at https://frcemmentor.com/ ">https://frcemmentor.com/">... put on a free exam and online seminar that I attended far too early on a Sunday morning. But the questions were invaluable. And the exam tips were awesome as well

Books wise:

I used the oxford handbook 4th edition, but the oxford handbook 5th edition is now out and on my Xmas list https://tinyurl.com/yxshvf8d ">https://tinyurl.com/yxshvf8d&...

Oxford Handbook of Emergency Medicine (Oxford Medical Handbooks)

Books not to buy and I seriously mean don& #39;t bother

Don& #39;t waste your money on: https://tinyurl.com/yxvlvnoe ">https://tinyurl.com/yxvlvnoe&... it is truely awful, made me angry it was so bad

Also wasn& #39;t a fan of: https://tinyurl.com/yxhpveyo ">https://tinyurl.com/yxhpveyo&... a lot of money for a mediorce already out of date text book

Toxiciology wise http://toxbase.org"> http://toxbase.org is all you need, don& #39;t go getting it all too specific

Remember that RCEM have a list of drugs to have at least heard of! #RCEM_Guidance">https://www.rcem.ac.uk/RCEM/Quality-Policy/Clinical_Standards_Guidance/RCEM_Guidance.aspx?RCEM_Guidance=1 #RCEM_Guidance">https://www.rcem.ac.uk/RCEM/Qual... Under the section "Toxicology"

Finally remember that RCEM has a podcast:

https://www.rcemlearning.co.uk/podcasts/ ">https://www.rcemlearning.co.uk/podcasts/... which often discusses relevant and new things which people love to put in exams

But my fav podcast is: https://theresusroom.co.uk/ ">https://theresusroom.co.uk/">... Especially their topic summaries.

Learning point: Never write finally in a thread, might think of other things!

RCOG guidance: Really easy to understand and covered a blind spot in my knowledge:

52: Postpartum bleeding
21: Ectopic Pregnancy
69: N&V in pregnancy

NICE for eclampsia: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng133 ">https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/...

Talking of NICE: If there isn& #39;t a CKS for it, it probably isn& #39;t a thing: https://cks.nice.org.uk/ ">https://cks.nice.org.uk/">...

CKS | NICE

Providing primary care practitioners with a readily accessible summary of the current evidence base and practical guidance on best practice

Personal thought:

I didn& #39;t learn drug doses except emergency drug doses: If I should know them from ALS/ATLS etc I knew them, but I wasn& #39;t going to fill my heard with drug doses of things I knew I would look up in "real life"

Second personal thought:

With scoring systems I did not break my back to learn the exact score of every scoring system.

I know what GBS is used for, I know the main components, but I wouldn& #39;t score someone without looking it up/Using MDCalc so I didn& #39;t memorise it for the exam
