Oxford Handbook for the Foundation Programme

This is the ultimate guide to surviving the first two years as a doctor. It covers all the essential knowledge including on-call emergencies, day-to-day ward life, clerking patients, referrals, procedures, and interpreting results.

This new edition has been thoroughly updated in light of the UK Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) changes to medical training and advances in clinical practice. There are also numerous new sections including life on the ward and prescribing--two of the biggest challenges that new doctors face.

Features:
* The best-selling guide to both the clinical and non-clinical elements of surviving your first two years as a doctor
* Completely updated and revised to reflect the recent changes to junior doctor training
* Covers many of the administrative tasks that aren't taught at medical school, plus practical advice on managing finances and career development
* Presents clinical material grouped by system, rather than disease, for ease of reference when facing patients, plus step-by-step instructions for the treatment of emergencies
