Brand new mess - very good. 3 on-call rooms available which can be booked for free, with priority given to people who live far away. Biochemistry and Haematology on-site although there have been occasions where biochemistry has been closed due to staffing issues so bloods have to be taken to the RVI by blood-bike. On-site PPCI with cardiac nurse...More
Harder to get a parking permit than flying to the moon. Points based system of allocation for issuing permits where even childcare constraints don’t seem to count. Most roads around hospital are for local resident parking but possible to park after hours I believe.
Electronic notes, prescribing and portable DECT phones. The electronic notes system used is Cerner Powerchart. There's quite a few bugs and limited scope for customisation beyond basic auto-text automations. There's no way to bulk order bloods so if you have a large patient cohort this can take significant time. The system can be incredibly slow t...More
Bus: number 38, 18 and 7 stop right outside. Nearest metro is longbenton or south gosforth. Staff hopper runs between CAV:RVI and FRH every 15 mins.
Excellent canteen. Breakfast is reasonably priced at about £1.50 for a sausage/bacon sandwich. Lunch has a daily special at around £3.40, otherwise can be up to £5 but generally quite good quality (apart from the veg). Good chips. Open from 07:30-19:00, then again 00:00-01:00 overnight. Coffee machines available during opening hours. No vending mac...More
Most people live in Heaton, south gosforth jesmond or west jesmond. Though living towards the coast can be convenient due to the metro being nearby.
Not surprised the CQC rating for this trust has gone down. Ward job is mainly service provision, very understaffed to dangerous levels when I worked there and not much specialty respiratory experience as there are loads of general medical boarders. Poor management of very stretched teams by most of the consultants who seem content with doing their ...More
CT2 post at Freeman hospital was pretty much service provision with minimal training. Heavy oncall work load including cross cover for urology at night, no protected or rostered theatre time and often rostered for ward cover. Training guidance from CT2 TPD was for 4 theatre sessions, 4 clinics, 1 SPA per week which unfortunately was just overlooked ...More
Echoing the previous points raised here. The only positive is friendly and supportive colleagues, both medical and nursing, and plenty of practical procedures. That does not change the fact that the job is pure service provision with absolutely 0 training opportunities. The on-call duties are extremely busy and you cover the emergency clinic and h ...More
A mixed bag with this rotation. As an F1 you are expected to cross cover for HPB and colorectal when they're below minimum staffing. Minimum is 2 F1s on vascular, 2 F1s (and 2 PAs) on HPB, 1 F1 on colorectal. Total numbers are 5 vascular F1s, 4 HPB F1s, 2 colorectal F1s. Positives - Consultants are all very pleasant to work with, experts in thei ...More
I wished I had the same experience as the other F1 who wrote their review about this rotation. For me, it was by far the worst rotation of my FP. Extremely busy with missing breaks and finishing late being an almost daily occurrence. Not been to theatre once during the 4 months. No med reg in the hospital which made things difficult given the co-mo ...More
