Still have questions?
Who is this book for?
This eBook is for incoming Foundation Year 1 doctors, international medical graduates (IMGs), and honestly anyone about to start working night shifts in the NHS. It's full of the kind of real-life tips no one actually teaches you - the stuff you usually learn the hard way.
What makes this different from other survival guides?
It's funny, brutally honest, and not preachy. It's written by someone who's actually been there and done it (Dr Dev Gakhar, aka Doctor Devify). It includes bonus tips from leading UK medical creators. You also get an exclusive 25% Pastest discount - which can literally save you more than the price of the book
How does this book actually save me money?
Whether you're an FYI just starting out, an SHO applying for training, or a doctor already in training aiming for CCT, youll likely need to pass exams like MRCP, MSRA, MRCS, or MRCGP along the way. Pastest is one of the most trusted platforms for exam prep and this eBook includes an exclusive 25% discount which they haven't given to anyone else on their 12-month subscriptions. For example, if you're preparing for MCP and buy a 12-month subscription, that's a saving of over E40 - meaning you make back the cost of the eBook (and then some) in just one purchase.
Is this book suitable for international doctors?
Absolutely. In fact, a lot of the tips were written with IMGs in mind. It's based on real NHS ward experience, so it'll help you feel more confident and avoid getting caught out.
Is this just for FYls?
Nope - while it's written with new FYls in mind, SHOs, locum doctors, and even final-year med students have found it helpful. It's not a textbook - it's real-world stuff you actually face on-call.
What format is the book?
It's a digital ebook (PDF) you can read on your phone, tablet or laptop - perfect for on-the-go. There's also a paperback version available on Amazon!
What if I don't find it helpful?
No hard feelings! I offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you genuinely didn't find it useful, just let me know why (so I can improve), and contact me within 7 days of purchase - I'll give you a refund.
Can I gift this to a friend?
Yes! On the checkout page, just tick the box that says "Gift to a friend!" They'll get their own download link by email.
