The Grey Book

“Guidelines for the Management of Common Medical Emergencies and for the Use of Antimicrobial Drugs” or the Grey Book, was first published and edited by Professor Joe Collier in August 1979. It is probably the oldest established set of such guidelines in the UK.

The Grey Book App brings the guidelines to the mobile phones which have become ubiquitous and essential for any junior doctor.

Already successful on Apple devices, this is the first release on the android platform which widens the reach of the apps to a multitude of Android based devices.
