About Us
The Founders
Guideline Genius was founded by Konstantinos Mantonanakis and Adams Lau. They studied medicine at Queen Mary University of London in Malta and now work as doctors in the UK. They created the resource they wished they had while learning to navigate UK clinical guidelines during medical school.
Konstantinos graduated from Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry with an MBBS with Distinction. He received the Kumar and Clark Prize for the highest overall ranking across Queen Mary's five-year medical programme in London and Malta, and scored third highest in the UKMLA. He went on to work as a resident doctor at Russells Hall Hospital, part of Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust. Read Konstantinos's graduation post.
Adams graduated with an MBBS from the Queen Mary Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry (Barts and The London). One of eight Queen Mary nominees for the 2026 University of London MBBS Gold Medal viva, he received a High Commendation. He was awarded the Glanfield Harris Prize for the best of Queen Mary's Gold Medal finalists, the College Prize MBBS Part 5 (Drapers' Company Prize), and the Patrick Pawsey Prize for Queen Mary's highest UKMLA AKT score. He began FY1 on the Specialised Foundation Programme at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, part of Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust. Read Adams's graduation post.
Who Are We?
Guideline Genius was created in 2024 with a clear purpose: to make UK medical guidelines easier to learn, understand, and apply. We develop structured, easy-to-follow learning resources based on UK clinical guidance and streamlined to the UKMLA content map – the core syllabus for UK medical school examinations. Our aim is to help learners feel more confident in both exams and clinical practice.
Right now, Guideline Genius is mainly designed for clinical-year medical students, with growing relevance for junior doctors who need quick, reliable, guideline-based information.
Our founders bring recent medical-school and clinical experience to the platform, alongside contributions from other medical authors. By bringing guidance from organisations such as NICE, BTS, RCOG, RCUK, BOA, and BASHH into one place, we save users time and make navigating complex guidelines far more manageable.
What Do We Do?
We take complex clinical guidelines and reshape them into structured, high-yield summaries. Each topic is aligned with the UKMLA content map and organised to support both exam revision and real-world clinical understanding.
To support clearer and efficient learning, our articles use structured formats – bullet-point breakdowns, high-yield tables, flowcharts, collapsible sections, hover boxes, and pop-up explanations – helping users identify key information quickly or explore further detail when needed.
Where UK guidance is unavailable, we use reputable European and American sources, always clearly referenced and integrated into the same structured format. Everything we produce follows one guiding principle: create the kind of resource we wish we had during medical school.
How We Maintain Quality
We organise articles around clear clinical topics and include references so readers can return to the original guidance. We revise the library as guidance changes, while some earlier topics remain under review.
Editorial and specialist review are part of our quality process. Where an article names an author or reviewer, those details should be read alongside its sources and date information.
Guideline Genius is a learning resource. For clinical decisions, consult current primary guidance and local protocols.
Question Bank
Our question bank now complements the article library with practice and explanations. We are continuing to expand the library and improve how students and junior doctors move between reading, questions, and source guidance.
