Tools of the Trade: Poems for New Doctors by Various Poets

Edited by John Gillies, Ali Newell, Noy Basu, Rachel Miller, Samuel Tongue & Lesley Morrison

Being a doctor is a privilege; it is also very demanding and can be stressful, and to be able to look after others, we need to look after ourselves. We offer you this little book of poetry, Tools of the Trade, as a friend to provide inspiration, comfort and support as you begin work.

Tools of the Trade includes poems by poet-doctors Rafael Campo, Glenn Colquhoun, Martin MacIntyre, and Andrea Wershof Schwartz.

The publication and distribution of Tools of the Trade to newly-qualified doctors is made possible thanks to the support of The Medical and Dental Defence Union of Scotland and The Royal College of General Practitioners (Scotland).
