The Publication Gap Holding Back Your Career
Your 10-Week Pathway to Publication
You see publishable cases every week...
But between ward rounds, on-calls, and mandatory training, academic writing gets pushed to "someday." Meanwhile, your peers are building CVs that stand out.
You've started papers that never finish...
Without a clear framework, you stall at the discussion section, struggle with journal selection, or abandon projects when feedback feels overwhelming.
The stakes keep rising...
ST3 applications, ACF posts, and academic foundation programs are increasingly competitive. A strong publication record isn't optional anymore; it's expected.
You're navigating this alone...
Your consultant is too busy, online resources contradict each other, and you're unsure if your work meets publication standards. The risk of wasted effort or embarrassing rejection feels paralysing.

Your 10-Week Pathway to Publication

Week 9:
Peer Review
& Revision

Week 10:
Final Submission & Publication Strategy
Complete final manuscript checks, submit with confidence, build a sustainable publication pipeline, and plan your next paper while waiting for reviews.

Testimonials
Dr. Sarah Mitchell
ST3 Emergency Medicine
"I'd been sitting on a complex case for 18 months, convinced it was too junior to publish. Within 6 weeks of starting the course, I had a structured manuscript. By week 10, it was submitted to Emergency Medicine Journal. It got accepted with minor revisions 8 weeks later.
The publication made a tangible difference - I was asked about it in my ST3 interview, and my Educational Supervisor specifically mentioned it strengthened my portfolio. Worth every penny, and I've already started my second paper using the same framework."
Result: First-author publication, successful ST3 application, increased confidence
Dr. James Okonkwo
F2 Doctor (now CT1 Anaesthetics)
"As an F2 on nights, days, and weekends, I was sceptical I'd have time. But the course is designed for our reality - short videos I could watch during handover, exercises that took 30 minutes max. Dr. Busby's templates meant I wasn't starting from scratch.
My audit on pre-operative screening became my first publication in the Journal of Perioperative Practice. The skills I learned mean I'm already planning my next paper - this time a case series. The course pays for itself in career ROI."
Result: Published while working full-time clinical rota, reproducible skills gained
Dr. Priya Sharma
Medical Registrar (India, preparing for UK applications)
"I needed publications to strengthen my UK training applications, but didn't know where to start. This course gave me the exact structure I needed - from IMRAD formatting to understanding what UK journals expect.
My quality improvement project from my hospital in Mumbai is now published, and I have concrete evidence of academic capability for my portfolio. The course also connected me with other international doctors facing similar challenges."
Result: International publication success, stronger application portfolio

Questions From Doctors Like You
Q: I'm working 48+ hours a week. Do I really have time for this?
A: The course is specifically designed for full-time clinicians. Each week requires 2-3 hours maximum: short video lessons (15-20 min) you can watch during commutes or lunch breaks, plus focused writing exercises. Many participants work on their manuscripts during quiet on-call periods or protected teaching time. Unlike traditional academic writing courses, there's no fluff - every minute is practical and directly applicable to your project.
Q: What if I don't have anything worth publishing?
A: If you've completed an audit, seen an unusual case, or participated in quality improvement, you likely have publishable material. Week 1 specifically addresses idea development, helping you identify opportunities in work you've already done. We've helped junior doctors publish everything from single-case reports to service evaluations. The key isn't having groundbreaking research - it's presenting clinical work in a way that adds value to the medical literature.
Q: Will this actually improve my training applications?
A: Publications demonstrate several competencies assessors look for: academic capability, scholarly activity, initiative, and critical thinking. First-author publications in peer-reviewed journals are explicitly valued in ST applications, ACF interviews, and academic portfolios. While we can't guarantee interview outcomes, we can guarantee you'll have a tangible publication to discuss in competency-based questions about research and audit.
Q: What's the difference between this and free online resources?
A: Free resources rarely address the specific constraints junior doctors face—they're generic, fragmented, and don't account for time poverty or NHS-specific contexts (audits, SLEs, portfolio requirements). This course provides structure, accountability, personalised feedback on YOUR manuscript, and access to an experienced medical publisher who understands UK training pathways. Think of it as the difference between YouTube guitar tutorials and having a professional instructor.
Q: What if I've never written for publication before?
A: Perfect - that's exactly who this course is designed for. We assume zero prior publication experience. You'll learn everything from basic manuscript structure to navigating peer review. The step-by-step format means you build skills progressively, and the cohort model connects you with others at similar career stages facing the same challenges.
Q: Which journals will accept my work?
A: Journal selection is covered extensively in weeks 1-2. You'll learn to match your work type (case report, audit, review) to appropriate journals, understand impact factors vs. relevance, and identify specialty-specific vs. generalist publications. The course includes a database of 200+ medical journals categorized by specialty, typical acceptance rates, and submission requirements. We help you target realistically while aiming appropriately.
Q: Is this recognised for CPD/revalidation?
A: Yes. Course completion provides 10 hours of GMC-recognised CPD in the "Reviewing performance, measuring outcomes" and "Educational activities" categories. You'll receive a certificate suitable for your revalidation portfolio. The publication itself also contributes to CPD under scholarly activity.
Q: What happens after the 10 weeks?
A: You'll have 12 months access to all course materials, templates, and the journal database - valuable for future publications throughout your career. While formal teaching ends at week 10, you'll have submitted (or be ready to submit) your manuscript. Many participants continue in the peer support community and return for advanced topics like systematic reviews or responding to peer review.
Q: Can I get institutional funding or use my study budget?
A: Many trusts provide study leave budgets or professional development funds for junior doctors. The course qualifies as educational CPD and can be claimed if available. We provide detailed invoices and course outlines suitable for funding applications. Some participants have successfully obtained departmental or educational supervisor support. We're happy to provide supporting documentation.
Your Publication Journey Starts Here
Every consultant you admire built their academic reputation one publication at a time. Every competitive training post you want lists "evidence of scholarly activity." Every career door you're trying to open values demonstrated academic capability.
The question isn't whether you need publications - it's whether you'll figure it out alone or learn from someone who's already done it.
In 10 weeks, you could have:
