Oxford Handbook for the Foundation Programme

The Oxford Handbook for the Foundation Programme provides a unique resource for medical students and junior doctors as a definitive guide to the Foundation Programme. It is divided into 20 chapters, each covering a core area of the curriculum, including being a doctor, life on the wards, history and examination, prescribing, drugs, resuscitation, care at the end of life, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastroenterology, endocrinology, neurology, psychiatry, fluids and renal, haematology, skin and eyes, emergency department, primary care, procedures, and interpreting results. It presents evidence-based clinical guidance in a clear way that makes it easy to revise, remember, and implement on the ward. It gives reliable advice on what to do, and when and how to do it, with clinical diagrams that bring theory to life. It helps junior doctors navigate all aspects of their working life, from career development to workplace relations, paperwork to pay and pensions.
