About Us

Patsy Tremayne and her son, Kell Tremayne, have joined forces to combine their knowledge and experience to help junior doctors ace their exams and triumph over a system that is stacked against them.

This has made for a solid and dynamic team with Patsy's decades of experience working in this industry and Kell's up-to-date and rigorous research background. They have even written a second book for junior doctors titled 'Study Less and still blitz your Medical Exams.'
