Oxford Handbook for the Foundation Programme (Oxford Medical Handbooks) Flexibound – 11 Aug. 2011

This book is a great introduction into how to cope being a foundation doctor. It gives you plenty of information on how to manage the common presenting complaints you will come across and has some good sections on drugs and how to perform procedures. Also useful during final year as a medical student although doesn't give reasons for investigations so handy reminder before exams rather than good for learning about management for the first time.

I bought this book at the start of the final year of medical school and I wish I'd bought it on day 1. Everyone recommends the oxford handbook of clinical medicine but actually this book is pitched at a much better level for students, and includes lots of other things they don't teach you at medical school, like how to write in the notes, who's who on the wards, etc. Highly recommended.

Good book for starting the foundation programme. Very helpful before on calls.

Very useful book for the foundation programme. It contains practical information that is needed when working (some of the information that you don't learn in med school).

Useful to have lots of practice questions and good explanation about the exam in the opening chapters. Some answers seemed to conflict with another book I used, and I preferred the other book as I agreed with the justification of the answers, it had better explanations of answers and was more user friendly (250 SJTs was the other book).

Item as described and quick delivery

Using this as a guide to prepare for finals, just enough detail to get you through the last few months of med school. Always in my hospital bag along with he pocket prescriber!

Used as revision after med school for FY1, great resource.

it is good guide, put nerves on ease if you know what i mean lol. Great advice for FY especially for first day on job
