  MRCOG-1   I appeared in MRCOG-1 in July 2018. I prepared for about four to five months beginning from January 2018 to July 2018. I used the following resources 1-      Passmrcog online question bank and books 2-      Oxford book (link is below) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Revision-Notes-Oxford-Specialty-Training/dp/0199592330 3-      Past questions   In my opinion, you need three to four months of dedicated preparation for this exam.

A typical shift in A&E department

A&E DEPARTMENT: Is divided into 3 sections mainly. 1)Majors 2) Minors 3)Resus We are asked to work anywhere by a consultant. Typical Shifts in My Trust: All of 8 hours except night shifts which are of 11 hours. Examples: 8am-4pm, 11am-7pm, 1pm-9pm, 3pm-11pm, 5pm-1am, 6pm-2am, and 9pm-8am. How does a typical day start? Handover only occur for 8 o’clock shift. Night team actually hand over patients to you some of which are already admitted or deemed Medically Fit For Discharge (MFFD). In all other shifts, you do not have to take handover. You just have to go to the reception, pick the patient in the order of their time of booking/arrival. Some consultants want to give you patients themselves whilst others expect you to pick patients according to their booking time. What to do when you have picked a patient: Either your patient will be in the cubicle already or in the waiting room. If in the cubicle, you just go and see the patient. If not, call the patient into o...
