Overview
On-Call//Guide is a web-based clinical reference tool built for junior doctors (FY1 and FY2) during on-call shifts in UK hospitals. It gives doctors fast, structured access to practical reference content — organised into 120 topics across 11 categories — for time-pressured situations such as acute deterioration, sepsis, AKI, and prescribing, with content referenced against recognised UK clinical sources.
It's an interesting product for an intern to explore because it combines a clearly defined professional audience, a specific real-world use case, and a straightforward freemium business model — giving plenty to investigate without needing any specialist knowledge going in.
This project is focused on learning and discovery: understanding the product, its intended audience, and how it fits into the wider landscape of resources available to junior doctors.
Expectations
Interns are expected to explore the product for themselves, carry out independent research, and develop their own observations and ideas rather than repeating information found online. Findings should be submitted in the intern's own words, approached with curiosity and initiative. This project is a learning exercise, not a work assignment — interns are not expected to act as employees, marketers, consultants, or service providers.
