Let's face it. Revising for the MRCP is tough.
Why waste time making notes when they have already been made for you?
I remember how challenging it was trying to juggle revision with long on-call shifts while still trying to maintain a social life. I often had to sacrifice going to social events and sometimes even sleep!
All MRCP textbooks were extensive and long. It was impossible for me to remember all of this information. I found myself spending hours distilling huge topics into short concise notes that could be read within 5 minutes.
Doing this however was invaluable. It helped me to review topics quickly, and brush up on things that I had forgotten. This approach helped me to pass Part 1, Part 2, PACES & the Acute Medicine SCE all in my first sitting.
Having done all of this leg work, I want you to also benefit from them! I am converting my notes into a library of cheat sheets to make MRCP revision simple, easy and fast! These sheets are not only useful as a last-minute revision tool, but also function as a valuable reference to address clinical problems on the wards.
This library will be updated regularly with new exclusive cheat sheets to provide coverage of key subjects in the Royal College syllabus. All sheets will be completely reviewed to reflect recent advances in clinical practice.
If you have my TEXTBOOK or FREE EBOOK, you already know how passionate I am about efficient learning. My goal however is not to replicate content from these books, but rather complement them. After all, these books contain high yield facts specifically for the exams. The cheat sheets function as notes to boost your knowledge-base and understanding.
I wish you all the success in your exams and in your career!

Dr. Muzz is the founder of the Instagram page @mrcpfacts. He is a registrar in the United Kingdom and is training in 2 different specialties: Acute Medicine & Intensive Care Medicine. His passion for medical education has translated in him being the Education Lead at one of the largest tertiary hospitals in the UK, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
Through his revision, he faced 2 main challenges: having little time to revise & having to remember lots of information.
He created this library with the hope that it will help to address these challenges, and to make revision manageable, enjoyable and ultimately successful.
