This is the ultimate guide to surviving your first two years as a doctor. Buying this book is a rite of passage for a junior doctor, a bit like getting the bleep for the first time except you won't grow to hate it. It covers all the essential knowledge including on-call emergencies, day-to-day ward life, clerking patients, referrals, procedures and interpreting results. Don't go on-call without it! Better still this book will help you get your next job. It has practical tips on the new career system, MMC, completing your portfolio, interviews, application forms and getting published. This new edition has been thoroughly updated in light of the MMC changes to medical training and advances in clinical practice.

Product Description
Review
The real gems in this book are in the clinical presentations section, where management is arranged according to presenting complaint rather than by condition...a book...pitched at the right level for a junior doctor. (British Journal of Hospital Medicine )

I don't know if my review will be relevant to most people (!)... but this book is excellent for people who have been out of medicine (and in research) for way too many years (8) and returning to clinical life. Contains all the practical facts about clinical care (that are actually easier to forget than the medicine itself) and administrative aspects that clinical medicine textbooks just don't cover. And of course, also updates you with the new fangled way of doing things in the NHS!

I got this book a month ago and found it extremely helpful. It's great to carry around with you on the wards and refer to quickly should you need to.
It covers the duties of FY1 and FY2, examples of a pre- and post-foundation cv, how to write notes,discharge summaries, dealing with being on-call,referrals, miscellaneous conditions in medicine, surg and A&E, basic procedures, lab test interpretation and lots lots more. Get it if you want some insight into what foundation posts entail. It's great.
