\u003cp\u003eDrug prescribing is one of the most important parts of clinical practice. Yet it remains one of the most commonly failed components of undergraduate assessments, and accounts for an uncomfortably high proportion of medical errors. To remedy this, the Prescribing Safety Assessment (PSA) exam has been introduced in the UK. It is compulsory and will set a minimum standard for safe prescribing. Failure will preclude GMC registration. \u003c/p\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003cp\u003ePass the PSA \u003c/i\u003eis written specifically for the exam, with one chapter dedicated to each PSA section. \u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach chapter includes: \u003c/p\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe marking scheme for the PSA exam section and how to approach it. \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll the theory condensed into a few pages of memorable, illustrated text. \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMultiple worked questions covering the most common exam scenarios. \u003c/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition:\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduces a simple, memorable and failsafe approach to prescribing (the âPReSCRIBERâ mnemonic). \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpecifies the universal basic principles of prescribing for all sections. \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOver 300 worked questions, structured identically to the exam. \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eData interpretation made memorable and simple including ECG, ABGs, chest X-rays and basic bloods.
