A complete multi-media course consisting of 2 books, a DVD of videos and sounds, and a website aimed at junior doctors preparing for the MRCPCH exam.

It will carry the endorsement of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH). Volume 1 (with DVD in back) has a dual market of trainee paediatricians and professionals with an interest in paediatrics, such as GPs, in particular those undertaking the written part of the DCH exam. Volumes 1 and 2 (sold as a package) includes a DVD and access to at least a three-year free access to the Master Course website via a PIN number.
