Enhancing Weekend Medicine: A Doctor's Guide to iDoc Utilization

As a FY2 doctor at West Wales General Hospital, I've faced the challenges of working weekends—characterized by fewer staff, busy seniors, and a steep learning curve. The tool 'iDoc' has been essential in bridging my knowledge gaps and aiding my medical decision-making. It consolidates information from textbooks and provides critical guidance when I'm under-prepared for on-calls. This presentation reflects on how iDoc not only enhances learning during work and study breaks but also serves as a reliable resource for safety and accuracy in unfamiliar situations.
