Clinical Education for Junior NHS Doctors

A free, doctor-written resource covering ENT, psychiatry, cardiology, examinations, surgery, and more. Written in the trenches, kept going to help you succeed.

Welcome

Thank you for visiting ClinicalJunior.com. This site was built to provide practical, accessible clinical information for junior doctors working in the NHS. It is an amalgamation of knowledge from doctors who have been through the same training pathway and want to help those coming after them.

The focus is on clinical information that is actually useful on the ground: understanding how to manage common conditions, step-by-step photographic guides to procedures and operations, and practical advice on passing exams and competitive specialty interviews. Whether you are an FY1 facing your first on-call shift or an SHO preparing a competitive ST3 application, there is something here for you.

ClinicalJunior.com was founded in December 2007 by Vik Veer, who was then an SHO in ENT. He has maintained it ever since because he believes in paying forward the knowledge that helped him. Vik is now Professor and Consultant ENT & Sleep Surgeon at the Royal National ENT Hospital, London, and runs the largest sleep surgery practice in the UK. He has a YouTube channel with over 200,000 subscribers and 30 million views.

About Professor Vik Veer

I am a Consultant ENT & Sleep Surgeon at the Royal National ENT Hospital in London, and run the largest sleep surgery practice in the UK with over 43 different surgical treatment options available to patients. I run a YouTube channel with over 200,000 subscribers and 30 million views, and a newsletter read by over 55,000 doctors and patients.

I wrote ClinicalJunior.com when I was an SHO in ENT because I wanted somewhere to put the clinical knowledge I was gaining in a format that would help other junior doctors. I have kept it running ever since. The site has helped hundreds of thousands of doctors over the years and I hope it continues to do so.
