Special features relating to Rota |
|
It is very likely that this post will be incorporated into the Acute general medicine on-call rota. The Rota is fixed and set from the onset of the post and annual leave is allocated from the beginning of the post. Flexibility exists as long as ST doctors can manage internal swaps. |
|
Learning opportunities (other than informally during clinical work) |
|
Acquiring the knowledge and skills to manage acutely ill medical patients. Team working skills. Good communication skills. Teaching skills. |
|
Reflections of previous post holders |
|
The experience in EUA is thought to be invaluable as these are patient referred in acutely to the hospital. It is good to know what sort of patients GPs can manage and when they need to be admitted. This should prepare the ST doctor for the GPR year. Great learning opportunities with regular teaching on ward rounds and following the ward round where ST doctors have to prepare a topic for discussion. There are formal radiology meetings and a grand round where ST doctors are expected to present. The rota is good but when you are busy you are busy. |
