Catherine Spoors trained at Downing College, Cambridge, and New College, Oxford. She is currently a Specialist Registrar in the Bart's and the London School of Anaesthesia. She has a special interest in medical education. Kevin Kiff qualified from the London Hospital Medical School, and following a grounding in medicine started his anaesthetic training in London, completing the final FRCA examination in 1993. Following one year at Great Ormond Steet PICU, he was appointed Senior Registrar in Anaesthesia at St Bartholomew's Hospital, during which time he jointly received the BMA's Elizabeth Wherry prize and published on porcine models of critical illness and predictors of paediatric respiratory failure. Dr Kiff was appointed Consultant in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford in 1997, and since then has been heavily involved in the training of anaesthetists, medics, surgeons and medical students. Dr Kiff teaches regularly on and directs National ATLS courses. His special research and audit interests include the implementation of Early Warning Systems and the provision of in-patient emergency care.
Reviews
Overall, this book has many strengths, including the high-quality illustrations, a clear and concise writing style, and providing coverage of a broad breadth of the Primary FRCA curriculum; in addition, it is reasonably priced. It will therefore make a fine addition to any department's library and will no doubt be extensively used by trainees preparing for the Primary FRCA examination. * British Journal of Anaesthesia *
'*****'- the new Big Dog on the street...this is the best, post-exam colleagues also agree this is pretty hard to beat when it comes to primary revision. Get it above all others. * Amazon review by Dr. B. C. Burrows "Prof Plums" (Bristol UK) *
This is, by far, one of the most outstanding review books in the field of anesthesiology. It is all one needs to study to review for the ABA (or FRCA) examination. * Doody's Notes *
I bought this book a week ago and, as a college tutor, I must say I am extremely impressed!...I am really enjoying browsing through it: to exam candidates who are seeking actual help rather than enjoyment, I think this book will prove to be a real friend (and to those theaching them!). It is also very competitively priced when you consider the amount of detail and the quality of the illustrations. * Dr. Jeremy R. Prout, College Tutor, London *
Overall, very useful, reasonably priced and an excellent core text for anaesthetics. * Amazon review *
