An Introduction to Hospital Medicine for Pre-Clinical Medical Students

Starting on the hospital ward as a medical student is an important milestone on the journey to becoming a doctor. 


This Codex introduces pre-clinical medical students to the world of the hospital - from understanding the patient journey to the etiquette of hospital life.


Written by a group of London junior doctors, this Codex covers how patients arrive and travel through the hospital, explaining the role of the multidisciplinary team, and how to make the most of your ward-based learning.
