  What is a successful hospital career? The names of many eminent doctors may spring readily to mind - indeed, several have contributed to this volume - but defining the nature and means of their success is rather more difficult. Perhaps the best definition of a successful doctor is one who has gained credibility from the approval and respect of patients and colleagues alike. But how does one achieve such recognition and respect? In this book, the building blocks and formulae for success are analysed, practical ways to achieve this suggested, and advice on how to side-step the many pitfalls provided. Although it encompasses the views of some of the UK's leading doctors, it is not intended simply for the select few who aspire to the presidency of a Royal College or chairmanship of an august medical institution. It contains something for each and every trainee and all qualified doctors. This book is written to help many doctors achieve the happiness and fulfilment that should accompany a successful medical career.
