The Hands-on Guide for Junior Doctors, Fourth Edition, is
the ultimate, practical guide for junior doctors and medical
students. It helps you tackle the emotional, intellectual and
physical demands of being a new doctor and allays common
insecurities to help you make the most of your time in clinical
practice.
This book tells you how to prepare for the daily rigours of
hospital life, and will help you meet the required standard. It
provides advice on getting started in placements, and helps you
develop confidence, with tips on what to do as a junior member of
the hospital team, and how to deal with common calls and
emergencies. There is also an invaluable chapter on how to perform
the practical procedures you'll be assessed on.
With the Foundation Programme such a demanding process, both
physically and emotionally, this book also provides the kind of
information you don't get at medical school, for example, how
to look after yourself throughout your training.

Hands-on Guide!

"Intended for new doctors or those finishing the last year of
medical school, this handbook provides a practical introduction to
handling common medical scenarios, as well as discussion of the
daily work life of a doctor." (Book News, 1 August 2011)
"The Hands-on Guide for Junior Doctors is a one stop guide for a
new, and perhaps nervous graduate from medical school who is about
to start their first job in August. It's a manual that tells
you exactly what to expect and what to do at your job.
After graduating from medical school, our brains may be brimming
with medical knowledge, facts and figures. However, this does not
in any way prepare us for the practical aspects of the job. This
title literally takes you on a journey of every possible situation
and scenario that you may encounter as a JD. It identifies the
problem and chalks out a detailed management plan that JD can use
and implement at their jobs.
Another great element of the book is the section "common
calls". It lists and goes through all the medical issues that
JDs usually get called for. There is a very resourceful and
systematic approach described to tackle each problem. So, while at
medical school we are taught what are the things we need to do for
chest pain, this book literally tell you step by step what to do.
The title is just like a car manual!
I think the layout and content is excellent. It's a quick
and easy read. It covers all the main topics. The table of contents
is very thorough and makes any topic easy to find. I am not sure of
any other book in the market that achieves what this title very
beautifully captures. I would recommend the book to every new
graduate starting their first job! The book is an insider
information guide that can take many months to learn. With the help
of this book, the information and resources are at your finger tips
before you even start!
