Terms & Conditions

1. About these terms

These terms cover the Doctor Devify Hub at tools.doctordevify.com. That includes the hub homepage, every tool we publish under it (Before You Rank, Foundation Ranker, Pay Calculator, Spec Select, Tax Relief Calculator) and the book detail pages under /books. By using any of these you agree to these terms; if you don't agree, please don't use them.

2. Who we are

The Doctor Devify Hub is run by Doctor Devify Ltd ("we", "us", "our"), a UK-registered company. The brand we use day-to-day is "Doctor Devify". To get in touch, email hello@doctordevify.com.

3. The Hub and its tools

Not financial advice: where a tool produces financial figures (Pay Calculator, Tax Relief Calculator), the output is a planning estimate, not personalised advice. Doctor Devify Ltd is not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority. For a recommendation that fits your full situation, speak to a chartered accountant or an FCA-regulated adviser.

3.1 Before You Rank

Before You Rank is the first publicly-available database of NHS trust digital systems. It's free, no account required. Most data (EPR, electronic documentation, prescribing, integration, hospital parking, community notes) is community-sourced and cross-checked with multiple contributors, but it's crowd-generated and may not reflect every recent change. Always verify directly with the relevant trust before relying on a particular detail.

Trust league position is sourced from NHS England's Oversight Framework, published quarterly. We re-import after each refresh, but the most current figures are always those on england.nhs.uk. The Oversight Framework grades English NHS trusts only (Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish trusts are not covered). It's a board-level metric reflecting operational, finance and quality indicators at trust level: a useful signal of how a trust is run, but not a direct measure of the day-to-day experience of healthcare professionals working there. Treat it alongside the other information on Before You Rank, not as the deciding factor.

3.2 Foundation Ranker

Foundation Ranker helps UK final-year medical students rank Foundation Programme rotations. Rotation data is sourced from Oriel, the GMC National Training Survey and individual foundation schools; digital systems data is community-sourced via Before You Rank. Specific terms:

• Account: you create an account using email + password or Google sign-in. You're responsible for keeping your credentials safe and for activity under your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or are used fraudulently.
• Free and Complete tiers: the free tier covers basic ranking. Complete unlocks additional features. We may modify what each tier includes.
• Payments: Complete is a one-time payment handled by Stripe. The price shows at checkout. Access is valid for 12 months from purchase. Payments are non-refundable except where required by law. Don't share your paid access with other users.
• Bonus ebook: on Complete purchase you receive a coupon code for a free ebook.

3.3 Pay Calculator

The Pay Calculator estimates take-home pay for UK resident doctors in the NHS in England under the 2016 contract. Currently in private preview behind a shared password. No account, no payments. Outputs are a planning estimate, not personalised financial advice.

Where the numbers come from: primary, official sources only. BMA pay scales, NHS Employers pay circulars, GOV.UK (income tax, National Insurance, student loan thresholds), HMRC (mileage rates, professional bodies list) and NHSBSA (pension contribution tiers). We update each April when those sources publish new figures. If something changes mid-year, we flag it on the home page.

What we model: basic pay, weekend allowance, night enhancement, non-resident on-call, LTFT, London weighting, Flexible Pay Premia, locum top-up, plus PAYE, National Insurance, NHS Pension and student loan. England 2016 contract only.

What we don't model: salary sacrifice, the £1,500 transitional LTFT premium, additional voluntary contributions, sick pay, maternity pay, trust-specific top-ups, or anything in Scotland / Wales / Northern Ireland / dental contracts.

A note on real payslips: real payslips vary by month, depend on your tax code and exception reports, and pick up trust-specific quirks. Treat the calculator as a baseline, not a guarantee.

Affiliate links: some links (PAX Scrubs, Monzo, Octopus Energy and similar) are clearly marked as affiliate. If you click through and sign up or buy, the partner pays us a small fee. This doesn't change the price you pay or the bonus you get, and we only feature products we use ourselves.

3.4 Spec Select

Spec Select is a UK specialty training planning hub. It covers competition ratios, scoring rubrics, training pathways, recruitment timelines and interview structure across 61 UK specialties, plus a Match Quiz, per-specialty Score Calculator, Portfolio Tracker and side-by-side Compare tool. Specific terms:

• Account: you create an account using email and password. You're responsible for keeping your credentials safe and for activity under your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or are used fraudulently.
• Free and Complete tiers: the free tier gives you the UK Specialty Training Hub, Match Quiz, per-specialty Score Calculator and Dashboard. The Complete tier unlocks the Portfolio Tracker and the side-by-side Compare tool. We may modify what each tier includes.
• Payments: Complete is a recurring subscription handled by Stripe, billed every 4 weeks. The price shown at checkout applies. You can cancel any time from the Stripe Customer Portal linked in your Dashboard; cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle and you keep access until then. Payments are non-refundable except where required by law. Don't share your paid access with other users.
• Foundation Ranker bonus discount: if you have ever purchased Foundation Ranker Complete (lifetime eligibility, not tied to your active 12-month FR access), the Spec Select Complete monthly price is automatically discounted by 20% forever. We confirm eligibility by matching the email on your Spec Select account against your Foundation Ranker purchase record.
• The Schema bonus: every Spec Select Complete subscriber gets 10% off The Schema, an IMT interview-prep platform. The Schema is launching publicly soon; the discount applies once you can subscribe.

Information is compiled from publicly-available sources including NHS England / HEE recruitment pages and person specifications, Royal College and Faculty websites (JRCPTB, RCEM, FPH, FICM, RCR, RCPCH and others), and National Recruitment Office publications (GPNRO, NPRO, ICMNRO, PHNRO). Each specialty page links to its primary source; where official information is incomplete or hasn't been published, we flag this with a "verify" note. Competition ratios and other data may change between recruitment cycles, so always verify directly with the relevant Royal College, deanery or recruitment body before making application decisions.

3.5 Tax Relief Calculator

The Tax Relief Calculator estimates the tax relief HMRC may owe on professional fees (GMC, BMA, royal colleges, NMC and similar), indemnity, exam costs, mileage and uniform. Currently in private preview behind a shared password. No account, no payments. Outputs are an HMRC estimate, not a binding tax position and not a substitute for advice from HMRC, your tax adviser, or a chartered accountant.

Where the numbers come from: GOV.UK income tax bands and rates, HMRC mileage rates and approved professional bodies list, and BMA tax-relief guidance. Updated each April when sources publish new figures.

Affiliate links: some links are clearly marked as affiliate. If you click through and sign up, the partner pays us a small fee. This doesn't change the price you pay, and we only feature products we use ourselves.

3.6 Books

We publish books written for UK doctors. Two delivery models.

Digital books: currently 42 Night Shift Lessons. Sold inline through our payment partner Payhip. You agree to Payhip's terms when you complete a purchase.

• Delivery: instant PDF download. The link is sent to your email immediately after payment, so use an inbox you can access.
• 7-day refund: email hello@doctordevify.com within 7 days with a short note on why (so we can improve) and we'll refund you in full. After 7 days the sale is final.
• Bonuses: bundled with each purchase and emailed separately. Values shown on the page are realistic estimates of what each bonus would cost separately, not a guarantee of cash value. Bonuses may be rotated or refreshed over time; any active at the time of your purchase still apply.
• Licence: a book purchase is for your personal, non-commercial use. Please don't resell, redistribute or publish the file. For teaching-group or hospital-induction bulk licensing, email us first.

Paperback books: currently NHS Hot Topics, sold through Amazon. Amazon handles checkout, payment, delivery, returns and refunds under their own terms. We don't see your card details or order information.

Not advice: the books are educational, written by an NHS doctor (Dr Dev Gakhar) based on personal experience and research. They aren't clinical, medical, legal or interview-success advice. NHS policy, guidance and legislation can change over time. Always check official and up-to-date sources, follow your trust's policies, and listen to your seniors' clinical judgement. The books are independent publications, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced by the NHS or the Department of Health and Social Care.

4. Not advice

The Doctor Devify Hub is informational. Nothing in the hub or its tools, books and other resources is medical, financial, tax, or career advice. For decisions that affect your training, pay, taxes, or career, talk to the right professional (educational supervisor, chartered accountant, FCA-regulated financial adviser, careers lead, BMA, etc.). You're responsible for your own decisions.

5. Resource descriptions on the hub

The hub homepage describes each resource, the data it draws on, and who it's for. We try to keep these summaries accurate and up to date, but the live resource always wins over the summary. Coverage and features can change.

6. Our work

The design, copy, code, algorithms, and branding across the Doctor Devify Hub are the intellectual property of Doctor Devify Ltd unless stated otherwise. Please don't copy, redistribute, modify, or reverse-engineer any part without our prior written consent. Underlying public datasets surfaced inside individual tools (e.g. Oriel rotations, GMC survey, NHS trust details) belong to their original publishers.

7. Limits of liability

• We provide the Doctor Devify Hub on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
• We're not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use.

• Our total liability for any tool shall not exceed the amount (if any) you paid for access to that tool's paid tier.
• Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for things we cannot lawfully exclude (such as death, personal injury caused by our negligence, or fraud).

8. Acceptable use

• Don't use the Hub for anything illegal or in violation of these terms.
• Don't try to gain unauthorised access to our systems or other users' accounts.

We're not liable to you or any third party for modification or discontinuation of any part of the service.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
