About us
We help doctors pass exams and progress their careers
MedAscend was founded by physicians who felt existing resources were either exhaustive but overwhelming, or concise but shallow. We set out to build the resource we wished we had: exam-realistic, blueprint-driven and honest about your readiness.
Written with clinicians
Every question is drafted by a physician who has passed the exam and reviewed by a second before publication.
Reviewed by experts
Specialty leads audit explanations against current NICE, BNF and Royal College guidance, and update them when guidance changes.
Focused on what matters
We map every item to the official blueprint so your time goes on high-yield material, not obscure trivia.
Always improving
Candidate feedback after each diet shapes new past papers and highlights recurring themes.
Our approach to content
Memorising facts is not enough for Part 1. The exam rewards candidates who understand mechanisms and can apply them to unfamiliar scenarios. That is why every MedAscend question carries a full explanation of the correct answer and a one-line explanation for each incorrect option, plus a high-yield learning point you can revisit in the days before the exam.
Independence
MedAscend is an independent revision resource and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Federation of Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK. All content is original.
