Meet the new bleep.guide
Morning —
Morning —
It's 3am, and you're leaving the comfort of the doctors' office to review an unwell patient. You need a game plan.
Or it's ten to five. That CT needs protocolling before radiology goes out of hours, and you don't have the radiology reg's number.
Or grand round's done, and that hour of teaching needs logging. Somewhere.
We've been hard at work building the new bleep.guide, the handbook for resident doctors, made simpler.
Check out our 90-second video below of what's new, or keep scrolling to read about it.
📞 Your hospital's directory
Store your go-to numbers and make them available for colleagues to find, then dial straight from the app.
Be your hospital's moderator. Every hospital needs one, to check what colleagues add and keep the numbers right. Sign up in the app, and once you're approved, bleep.guide is free while you moderate.
📒 Log your teaching, takes, clinics and more
Just had a good teaching session? Log it.
Higher trainees: acute take and clinic numbers too. And anyone can make their own logs, for procedures or anything else.
Then export it all to a spreadsheet when ARCP rolls round.
⏱️ Crash bleep? Arrest Scribe Mode
One tap on the heart at the top of each tab opens Arrest Scribe Mode. Tap Start, and you're recording.
The cycle clock, large. Every shock, drug and rhythm, timestamped. The Hs and Ts to hand.
Leave it, and it keeps running: a red capsule at the top of every page shows the clock and takes you back.
🎓 Free teaching, all year
Foundation Emergencies is live every Wednesday evening. Next up: Heart failure and acute pulmonary oedema, on Wednesday 7 October.
Every session is written up afterwards, with its own illustrations. Last week's, The new oxygen requirement, explains why too much oxygen can raise CO₂, through the Haldane effect.
✍️ CPD as you read
Time you spend reading bleep.guide can now count towards your CPD.
Tap the CPD button at the top of any handbook page or guide and add a short reflection. Come back, and your time adds up. Then download a certificate that counts it all.
🎟️ Share it with colleagues
Tap the QR button at the top and choose how long to give a colleague: anything from 7 to 30 days of full access.
They scan the code, or type the one you read out, and they're in. You'll see who has joined.
Your first colleague to join earns you 14 days of full access (a free month, if you subscribe), and there's more at 2, 3, 5 and 10.
Reply and tell me what you think. It comes straight to me.
