FRCS General Surgery – Essential Revision Notes A high-yield, curriculum-mapped revision companion for FRCS (General Surgery) Section 1 (SBA) and Section 2 (Viva/Clinical). These notes are designed for surgical trainees who want a structured, exam-ready framework rather than scattered facts. Content is mapped against the UK CCT General Surgery curriculum and written in a practical “UK exam voice” to support safe clinical reasoning, clear decision-making, and confident viva answers. What you’ll get inside • Clear frameworks for assessment and management across core General Surgery domains • High-yield points and common “SBA traps” distilled into rapid-revision formats • Viva-style approaches: how to present, prioritise, justify, and escalate safely • Operative and peri-operative considerations written for real-world practice How to use this book These notes were developed from the author’s personal revision system and were refined over time through FRCS preparation. The current edition reflects the final set of notes used during preparation for the author’s later FRCS examination in Oesophagogastric Surgery. Use as a standalone revision text, or alongside question banks and structured courses. It pairs well with online SBA practice (e.g., SmartFRCS.com) for Section 1 and viva preparation courses (e.g., North of England FRCS Viva Practice Course) for Section 2.
