Safa Al-Musawi
Co-founder
Sat the UK exams she now writes for, and scored in the top deciles. Safa built the MSRA and SJT banks and still reads the explanations before they publish.
About MediWord
Built by the doctors who put their names on it.
MediWord is a small clinical education team building focused revision for the UK exams we have sat, taught and reviewed ourselves.
The two of us
A small team by design, not an anonymous content factory.
Safa and Ahmed started MediWord after seeing how difficult it was to tell who had written a question, when it was last checked, or whether its explanation still matched UK guidance. That accountability became the rule for the whole platform.
Ahmed Zainy
Co-founder
Junior doctor and the other half of the editorial line. Ahmed runs the revision notes and flashcard decks, and teaches the live crash courses.

What we believe
Trust should be visible on the page.
- 01
A named doctor owns every question
No anonymous author pool. Every item has someone accountable for the stem, answer and explanation.
- 02
The source sits beside the answer
Explanations are traced to current NICE, SIGN or Royal College guidance and carry a review date.
- 03
Feedback reaches the people who write
When a candidate spots something, it goes directly to an editor who can review and correct it.
Editorial process
Four checks between a first draft and your revision session.
01
Write
A clinician who has sat the exam in the last five years writes the stem, the options and the explanation, with the guideline or paper cited inline.
02
Second review
A different clinician checks the medicine, the distractors and the citation. If they disagree with the answer, the item goes back, it does not publish.
03
Publish with a date
Every question and note carries a last-reviewed date. If a guideline changes, the affected items appear on a review queue automatically.
04
Answer the feedback
Every question has a feedback box. A named editor replies, and if the item is wrong we fix it and say so in the changelog.
Clinical team
Named people, each responsible for a part of the bank.
The same clinicians write, teach and respond to feedback, so each section has a clear editorial owner.
