  The ultimate enrichment and survival guide for Foundation Programme doctors, Staying Human During the Foundation Programme and Beyond provides time-tested advice and the latest information on every aspect of a junior doctor's life - from clinical transitions, to coping with stress, enhancing self-care and protecting personal and professional relationships. Already acknowledged in its original Canadian edition as an invaluable resource by thousands of doctors working across North America, this UK adaptation - with a host of new material and features - offers evidence-based practical advice to junior doctors on how to cope with a wide-range of challenges including working in teams, sleep deprivation, time pressures and ethical issues, while at the same time maintaining a high level of patient care and safety. The authors also address subjects such as sexuality, equality and social justice.

  Offering imaginative, wise, compassionate and professional counsel, this tailored edition will quickly become required reading for medical students and an essential companion for all new doctors entering postgraduate education and training, and will help to shape notions of trainee well-being for medical educators. While focused on the UK Foundation Programme, the book will have international appeal.
