These MRCS Part A basic science notes cover everything Paper 1 (Applied Basic Science) can test you on in one book: applied surgical anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, microbiology, imaging and data interpretation, written from a surgeon's point of view and the way MRCS single-best-answer questions are actually set.

The 2026 edition is mapped item by item to the Intercollegiate MRCS content guide (ICBSE). A blueprint map at the front shows where every Paper 1 item is taught, and a coverage check at the back proves nothing has been missed.

  • Weighted to the Paper 1 blueprint: anatomy 75, physiology 45, pathology 37, pharmacology 8, microbiology 7, imaging 5 and data interpretation 3 questions
