Hi, I’m Joan, a resident doctor – I studied in Birmingham, UK, did my FY1 year there, and am now based in Singapore.

I’ve worked on these medical school notes during my clinical placement years at the University of Birmingham, and hope they will be useful for you. I’m providing these PDF notes free of charge. Resources used include PassMed, BMJ Best Practice (highly recommend this!), OHCM/OHCS, NICE guidelines, StatPearls, etc.

If you have any feedback, suggestions, or spot an error, please tell me here. :)

If you’ve benefited from these notes, I’d appreciate if you could give me a shout out on Instagram so that I can widen my reach!

Another note – the print version is only available on Amazon as it’s the only place that prints and ships out the notes at a price that is reasonable. Full transparency: I receive ~£4.32 per book sold, and this helps fund the website, so thanks if you’ve gotten yourself a handy little copy!
