'All postgraduate exams are challenging and are often undertaken at a time in life when there are multiple competing commitments - family, social, and professional. Having worked through the curriculum, the next essential step is focused practice ahead of the real exam. This book, divided into six sections, comprehensively covers the curriculum and provides ample opportunity to consolidate knowledge through practical application. As Head of School and now Deputy Regional Advisor for the North West, supporting a range of exam preparation courses, I recognise this book as an essential and high-quality revision resource. An excellent tool not only for independent practice and peer learning but also for educators to test and challenge candidates effectively. I would highly recommend this book to all residents preparing for, or booked to sit, the exam. Wishing you every success.'

'Having supported many trainees through the Final FFICM during my time as Training Programme Director for Intensive Care in the North West of England (2020-25), I know how important good quality OSCE practice is. OSCEs for the Final FCICM is thoughtfully written, realistic and easy to work through. The scenarios are varied, relevant, and feel very close to the sort of stations candidates are likely to face in the real exam. They will help develop the structured approach and confidence needed on the day. I would happily recommend this book to anyone preparing for the exam.'
