Reflections of previous post holders |
|
This particular post is new but the reflections about the medicine component are provided. The experience in acute general medicine is excellent and very appropriate for general practice. It is a good way to learn the limits of what can be safely managed in the community and at what point hospital help is needed. 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. If there is an interest in teaching then there are also opportunities for this. |
