About

eSurgibook

Features
Read full description

eSurgibook is the modern surgical logbook — a private, offline-first record of every operation, conference, audit, publication, and training in your career, with one-tap PDF exports for revalidation and appraisal. Built for surgeons, postgraduate students, and the mentors who verify their work. Capture entries in theatre with no connectivity. Sync them home when you're back online. Read them years later as the long chapters of your practice. WHAT'S INSIDE • OPERATIONS — A three-chapter form (patient · procedure · reflections). Patient identifiers stay as initials only, and your optional hospital ID stays on-device. Pick from a curated list of surgical operation names or add your own. Attach pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative photos with one tap. Record the surgical team, anaesthesia, complications, and learning points. • CPD ACTIVITIES — Conferences, audits, publications, and trainings, each with their own editorial form. Track CPD points, awards, the verification trail, learning points, and certificates — everything you'll need at revalidation or appraisal. • MENTOR VERIFICATION — Send a mentorship request to a senior. Mentors review your entries, leave structured comments, and attest with their name and the timestamp. Every verification is dated, signed, and irrevocable — a built-in audit trail that holds up at any college submission. • MAGAZINE LAYOUT — Your logbook reads like an editorial publication. Entries group into month chapters with a serif chapter heading and day-column numerals so the timeline of your work is visible at a glance. No spreadsheet feel. No corporate stiffness. • OFFLINE-FIRST SYNC — Capture entries with no connectivity. Theatre Wi-Fi never works anyway. eSurgibook stores everything locally first and syncs in the background when you're connected. • FACE ID, TOUCH ID, PASSKEYS — Sign in with Face ID or Touch ID on iPhone. Your password is never stored on the device. The refresh token lives in the Keychain under biometric-protected ACL, so even a stolen unlocked phone won't surrender your logbook.

Built by surgeons, for surgeons. • PORTFOLIO PDFS — Generate a one-tap PDF of every operation, every CPD activity, every verified entry — formatted for college submission, appraisal panel, or job application. Customize the date range and email it directly from the app. WHO IT'S FOR • PRACTICING SURGEONS — Track everything in one place. Verified by peers. Exported when you need it. Replace the spiral notebook and the cluttered cloud folder. • POSTGRADUATE TRAINEES — Build the case log your programme requires. Share it with your designated mentor for sign-off. Show progress to your training director without exporting and re-formatting. • SURGICAL MENTORS — Review your students' work. Leave structured feedback. Attest with your name. Watch the cohort you supervise build their portfolios in real time. PRIVACY eSurgibook stores no patient names.
