Appendix A Conditions categorised by body system

Conditions have been categorised by body systems to help candidates better understand relationships between conditions and engage with the material more effectively.

This categorisation is intended as a practical guide and should be interpreted with common sense. Please note the following:

• Each condition appears once within each category. However, this does not exclude it from being assessed in the context of other body systems. Eg burns are listed under skin and soft tissue, but may also be assessed in the context of child health.
• Candidates should also note that this categorisation does not reflect the specialities typically involved in managing the conditions listed. For instance, necrotising fasciitis affects the skin and would typically be treated by surgeons or intensivists, rather than dermatologists.

Our approach is to provide general guidance and support to candidates, rather than rigid classifications.
