A free four-part webinar series to help new FY1s prepare for their first few weeks
A live webinar series — 4 evenings, streamed on this page. The sessions aren’t recorded: the written notes are the record. They go up here free after each one, whether you came or not.
Missed one? Its notes are already up here — free to read, no sign-up needed.
A practical head start on your first few weeks as an FY1, when everyone suddenly expects you to know what you're doing. Four evening sessions — three before shadowing week, one debrief two weeks after you start. Live, with time for questions. Completely free. Come to one or all. No replay, much like the job itself.
Everyone who registers gets early access to bleep.guide for their first three months. You'd be among our founding users, and your feedback would shape it and be appreciated :)
Dr Oliver Devine graduated from the UCL MB PhD programme, did F1+2 at St Thomas', and is now an NIHR Academic Clinical Fellow in Cambridge, starting Clinical Pharmacology in September. None of this has dulled his recall of being a brand-new geris FY1 back in 2021 — the first day, the first night, the first ward round that went on till 4pm.. He built bleep.guide, and this series, as the handbook he wishes he'd had.
The unofficial handbook for resident doctors: emergency checklists, out-of-hours ward-cover scenarios, and clerking plans. Written to be read at speed, not waded through. It lives on your phone and works offline — there in the mess at 3am, or the corner of the hospital where the signal isn't.
Our app is live at https://bleep.guide use code NEWF1 to sign up for 90 days access.
Registration is free and takes a minute — it opens right here on this page.
