During final FRCA preparation, both I and Kiran Singh- Kandola realised that drawing simplified diagrams helped us to label any anatomy image shown to us, and so it might help others too. This idea stayed an idea for a long time. I then started teaching some of the diagrams to core trainees studying for the primary FRCA. They seemed enthused to have an easy way to learn anatomy, but there seemed to be no revision books which did this. I developed the step-by-step approach to drawing the diagrams from the way I taught people to draw them. In the last few years I have added many more drawings/diagrams, with the aim of covering most of the syllabus for anatomy. Many of the diagrams are done in a step-by-step ‘how to draw’ method. For some topics, such as the eye and the spleen, rather than step-by-step drawing, the salient points and general anatomy needed for the exams are covered. The main idea of the book is to make anatomy simpler for you to learn. Lots of tips are included, some about how to draw and some to help you answer some common questions. The book should aid you in all primary and final FRCA exam revision. Joanna Oram Fox Cardiff November 2017 Acknowledgments I would like to thank Kiran Singh-Kandola for being a great revision partner. From the inception of this idea, we designed simple diagrams to help us remember complicated anatomy. He was involved with the original drawings of the trigeminal nerve, cervical plexus, parts of the eye, epidural space, caudal anatomy, brachial plexus, cubital fossa, wrist, femoral canal and popliteal fossa.
