"Fitness to Practice" is an album produced for charity by Dr Adam Kay and Dr Suman Biswas (aka: Amateur Transplants) in 2004. 10% of the profits from the album sales go to Macmillan Cancer Relief. The album costs £9.99 for people in the UK and £12.99 for overseas orders. There is now a newly remastered version of the album available with two bonus tracks, Northern Birds and What I went to SKL 4, and full lyrics for all of the songs on the album, on sale for the same price. The album is published on the Friday Audio label of The Friday Project.

The album contains extremely strong language and therefore, according to the official website, "should not be bought for an elderly maiden aunt."
