Guidelines, MRCOG Part 2 Written · 28/01/2016

Recommended Reading for MRCOG Part 2 Exam in a Nutshell- [Post 1 of 3]

MRCOG Part 2 Recommended ReadingI thought I would compile ALL the sources/materials, that you will have to take a read before the exam MRCOG Part 2 exam. I understand that many are still puzzled as to what to study.

It’s quite a big list, so I have to break them down into separate posts.

Follow this and you may pass MRCOG Part 2 on your first attempt.

Let me list it down for your convenience:

1. Green Top RCOG Guidelines –

EVERYTHING – I mean read everything inside out. Nowadays most of the guidelines have its own summaries at the beginning. If not, you may need to make summaries, either separately or beside the guidelines.

But do make sure you read through the whole guideline at least once. That will make the concept clear.

As for what I did – I printed out everything. Reading a soft copy material on the computer or a tablet/iPad kinda thing is not my way of studying. Once you have grasped the concept, later you may revise the BOLD texts or only the summery.

2. Other sources on RCOG website –

Well if it’s not feasible to read all other resources, you may be selective.

  • Clinical Governance Advice – Understanding Audit-  Topic mainly needed for Part 3 OSCE
  • Consent Advice – Introduction page of any one of the consent form – the risk of  1/1 to 1/10, 1/10 to 1/100 understand the meanings in laymen terms like 1 in a house, 1 in a road etc. It came in SBA during my time – Also all common risk percentages of Caesarean section, Hysterectomy, Laparoscopy, Evacuation of the uterus.
  • Good Practice  – Didn’t read any topic in particular
  • Best Practice Papers – Didn’t read any topic in particular
  • Patient Information Leaflets – ALL must be read for OSCE. It has simple English which is needed for communication stations. Eg: Placenta is explained as ‘After Birth’.  Which was quite a new term for me to learn.
  • Scientific Impact Paper – The below are a few that should be read.

– NIPT  paper 15

–  IOL of older mothers- paper 34

– Enhance recovery in Gynaecology paper 36

– Vitamin D in pregnancy-  paper 43

– Fertility Sparing Treatments in Gynaecological Cancers – paper 35

3. NICE Guidelines- More details  in separate post

4. TOG – More details in separate post

5. OGRM-  More details in separate post

The rest of the source will follow in other Blog posts, keep reading.

To be continued…

      You are welcome.
      I got access to Strat OG late. but if you get earlier access, might as well use it. It is vast- so if you pay to subscribe better utilize it fully. I think once you buy from the RCOG website it is valid for about 6 months. I have no idea about people selling it else where. It has so many links and sub topics I cant Imagine how someone can sell them all.

      No, AJOG is American Journal of O & G and OGRM is a entirely different Journal. Previously known as Current Obstetrics and Gynaecology

      Ultimate Statistic TRICKS? Aha… I’m not too sure whether I can deliver that, but I am going to write a Blog on Source of statistics after the “SOURCE” of mrcog series finish. Tackle as many questions as possible on that. Really helps when you do questions to understand what you need to know for the exam.
      By the way when are you giving the exam?

      Hi thanks for the wishes…
      I did Amanda Jones, Not familiar with Tahir Mahmood, and also did the strat Og exam questions. I’m not sure whether any came in exam, but it was helpful for practising.
      The more the books you practise the better.. my 3rd blog post on Sources will be about these practise books.

      You are welcome. Don’t print everything at once. It will be overwhelming. Print only the ones you have scheduled to read. Once you are done with them,print the next. I actually bought a printer with external ink. So I was able to print ample amount of pages.

          Well Summarise means, highlight the important points. If you wan’t write them down. As these guidelines tend to be lengthy, you can’t read the whole thing every time. By glancing your notes you should be able to recall them while revising.
