This is the full text version. To read before or after but this is NOT what you need on the course.
I run a blog of interesting papers in journals which I try to update most weeks.
To try your hand at a mock paper (set by me in May 2009) click here (next update a couple of weeks before the January 2010 sitting). The syllabus and past papers are available from the Faculty's website at http://www.fph.org.uk/ Other bits and bobs for the exam include a couple of examples of critical appraisal, both about 1200 - 1300 words which is what you would write in 40 minutes in the exam. One is for an intervention study and the other for a systematic review. And, only for the truly desperate, here is a summary of the epidemiology of some common diseases.
