MRCEM SBA (Intermediate)

Prepare for the MRCEM SBA examination with EMHub’s emergency medicine study materials. Organised into 30 topic areas and 2000+ questions, the course helps you revise clinical knowledge, practise decision-making and identify subjects that need further attention.

The content spans cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, gastrointestinal, renal, endocrine and infectious disease emergencies, alongside trauma, orthopaedics, toxicology, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology. It also covers haematology, oncology, rheumatology, dermatology, ophthalmology, ENT, allergy, environmental emergencies and mental health presentations. Dedicated sections address the care of older and frail patients, resuscitation, analgesia and sedation, emergency procedures, and the interpretation of X-rays, CT and ultrasound.

Emergency medicine involves more than making a diagnosis. The course therefore includes safeguarding, legal and ethical issues, department management, patient safety and evidence-based practice. Topics are arranged to help you connect clinical assessment with investigation, treatment, referral and safe disposition.

Each SBA question includes an explanation for every answer option, so you can understand why one response is best and why the alternatives are less appropriate. Additional information and links to resources support further learning. Use the materials to guide focused revision, strengthen your reasoning and build confidence as you prepare for the exam.
