Chestnuts for the MRCP is not designed to be an easy read. It is a catalogue of lists that have been
amalgamated by previous MRCP candidates who have sat the Part 1 and Part 2 examinations. The lists, or `chestnuts', contain the most important
differential diagnoses that are relevant to clinical practice and the MRCP exam. The lists will enable the reader to create useful differential diagnoses on the spot. As the format of the
MRCP examination is constantly under review, it is hoped that these lists will provide a concise and portable text, which will be continually relevant to the examination, as well as clinical medicine.
