Anatomy questions are asked in all parts of the FRCA examinations, and for many trainees it is a particularly daunting part of the exams. This important new book provides a comprehensive, exam-orientated clinical anatomy book for anaesthetists preparing for all parts of the FRCA. It covers all body regions, relating underlying anatomy to practical procedures and anatomical principles, spanning the breadth of the curriculum and comprising exam-style questions: a chapter of SAQ questions, one of OSCE stations, one of SOE questions and one of MCQs. The text is highly illustrated in full colour with ultrasound images, diagrams and photographs of cadaveric material and models. This is the first anatomy book specifically orientated for the FRCA exam, making it an essential resource for anaesthetists preparing for all parts of the FRCA examination.
James Bowness has been involved in teaching anatomy for many years at St Andrews University for undergraduate medical students, the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh for MRCS candidates, and he also developed the 'Anatomy for the FRCA' course for FRCA candidates alongside Alasdair Taylor. Alasdair Taylor has worked in both emergency medicine and anaesthesia. He spent a year living and working as an anaesthetist in Ethiopia, where his work mainly comprised of clinical teaching and service development. He has since returned to the UK and is completing a fellowship in regional anaesthesia. He has developed the 'Anatomy for the FRCA' course alongside James Bowness.

'We've read the book at RAUK and we thought Anatomy for the FRCA has an engaging, accurate and accessible approach to anatomical revision. The content for areas specific to regional anaesthesia is well presented, combining clearly labelled diagrams of cadaver dissections alongside ultrasound cross-sectional images and succinct clinical information relevant to each block. We highly recommend this for those studying for the FRCA or wanting to brush up on the foundational knowledge or regional anaesthesia.' Sim West, Regional Anaesthesia United Kingdom (RAUK)
'Overall, this book provides a valuable question base for anaesthesia trainees in their preparations for the anatomy covered in fellowship examinations, and should be considered an essential supplementary resource alongside the core physics, physiology, and pharmacology textbooks.' Charlotte L. Smith, British Journal of Anaesthesia
'... [an] excellent concise book. I would recommend it to any doctor undertaking the FRCA examination.' Duncan L Hamilton, British Association of Clinical Anatomists Newsletter
