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

to look after yourself throughout your training.
