Reviews of the current edition
"I would recommend this book to senior medical students and doctors in their foundation years. it is an excellent small but comprehensive text." Foundation Programme Director, Cheltenham General Hospital
"The book provides incredibly useful and easy to follow advice for a great majority of the day to day situations you will find yourself in as a PRHO. It will prove a great help when getting to grip with the job in the first few months, and well worth storing in the locker for the morning after pay day party. Summary: Well worth a butchers" Black Bag, Bristol University Medical School Gazette
"This book is one of the most useful things to have stashed in your pocket for your shadowing period and F1 year so why not get it now and have some use of it while you′re a student?" Rectum, Leeds Medical School Magazine
"This pocket handbook is not only a delight to look at with its colourful cover, it is amazingly concise. It begins with an explanation for the fresh faced F1 about what to wear from day one, leading confidently through to practical procedures and common calls. It collates the information about the practicalities of the FY1 that one is expected to acquire from medical school in one small book." QMM Magazine, Birmingham University
Pre publication reviews of the 3rd Edition
"The content within the book is extremely relevant...the Hands on Guide continues to be a valuable resource for PRHO." SHO Somerset & Taunton
"The text is very user friendly. Information is easy to find, and extract. The illustrations are most informative, and the chapters appear in a logical order and are well structured." SHO Nottingham
Published Reviews of the 2nd Edition
"It is exactly what it says: a practical, no–nosense, hands–on guide to real life as a PRHO. ….Basically, its all the information we should have acquired during medical school but rarely have all in one place as we place so much emphasis on book learning and little on the practicalities of daily life as a PRHO." Northwing, vol.67, no.2, Autumn/Winter 2002
Published Reviews of the 1st Edition
This book is as essential as the Oxford Handbook or the BNF, to put it mildly "the best thing since sliced bread" St. Thomas′ Medical Gazette
"This wonderful book contains all you need to know to get through your house jobs..... it has priority in my already laden white coat over the Oxford Handbook." 2nd Opinion
"I′d advise everyone to get this book as an accompaniment to your Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine." Sphincter
"It is very well written, beautifully laid out and extremely practical." Dr Tony Hope, Director of Ethox, Institute of Health Sciences, Oxford
"This book is as essential as the Oxford Handbook or the BNF, to put it mildly ′the best thing since sliced bread′." St. Thomas′ Medical Gazette
"Invaluable for HOs but more than useful for 5th year medical students and SHOs too!" Southampton Health Journal

Format:Paperback
This compact book covers all the practical advice a junior doctor needs to ensure survival on the wards. It starts with the ever-vital details of paperwork and medical records - crem forms, sick-notes and the like - before covering the basics of clinical presentations, procedures, and finishing with a very human chapter on how not to go insane!
It does all this in a concise and no-nonsense way - perfect when time is limited and you're about to start that new job. Its strength is not only in focussing on the practicalities of the job, but also on taking a different angle to the Oxford Handbook for the Foundation Programme (Oxford Medical Handbooks). `Hands-on' is much more about everyday survival and overarching clinical presentations than the Oxford Handbook's focus on specific case-management. The two therefore complement rather than compete with each other.
In summary, the hand-on guide is a great little book: well aimed, relevant, and well worth reading before work on the wards begins.

The book is superb for the first 3-6 months of Foundation Year 1. Full of handy hints on what they don't teach you at medical school! Everything from how to get blood stains out of your clothes to preparing for and doing practical procedures.
Format:Paperback
In my first 6 months as an FY1, I would say that I used this handbook almost every day!
Brilliant practical advice covering all the day-to-day aspects of medicine on the wards. The important stuff that wasn't in the exams but poses daily questions on the job.
Our consultant bought a copy for the ward!
