"This case book is the best book I have come across while preparing for SCA exams. It has very comprehensive and detailed discussion cases which are worth reading for our daily consultations and SCA exams. Very informative, helpful and targeted to hidden agendas, which helped me understand the cores of consultation and highly improved my confidence. I couldnt pass my SCA exam without this book. Highly recommend. 5 stars" - Dr Reena Ahmed, GP
