Elsevier Pass the PSA

Pass the PSA has been fully revised for its second edition and is written specifically to support preparation for the Prescribing Safety Assessment (PSA) exam. The book is organised with one chapter dedicated to each section of the PSA, aligning its structure closely with the way the assessment is set out.

This edition introduces a simple, memorable approach to prescribing using the ‘PReSCRIBER’ mnemonic and sets out universal basic principles intended to apply across all sections. It also explains the question structure for each part of the exam and outlines how to tackle it, with chapter-ending questions presented in the same format as the PSA.
