This book is designed to be the friendly voice in your ear through it all. We dive deep into the real stuff. You know, the things that actually keep you up at night. We talk about the "Crisis of Time" where you have to balance being a General Physician with being a Heart Specialist.

We break down the scary new world of "Unselected Medical Takes" and how to survive them without losing your mind. We don't just list the rules; we explain why they exist, from the "Shape of Training" review to the specific demands of the 2026 recruitment cycle. Whether you are stressing about the European Exam in Core Cardiology (EECC) or trying to figure out how to get your "Level 4 Entrustment" in pacing, this guide has your back.

We cover the nitty-gritty of every module, from the "Radial First" approach in the cath lab to the "Tricuspid Revolution" in imaging. We even tackle the tough stuff like medical ethics, legal frameworks, and how to handle the "Duty of Candour" when things go wrong. It explores the "Spiral Curriculum," where you revisit themes with increasing complexity, ensuring you are ready for consultant life. It is highly creative, humanized, and packed with the specific, granular details you need to not just survive, but thrive in the 2026 landscape.
