Handover
Standard day is 9-5. Handover starts at 9AM on the ward with all members of MDT present. The bays are split between doctors and you go and prep the patients (some consultants will want you to physically see them, some won’t care if you prep as many as possible). The rota is arranged so that there is at least 3 doctors per day which is a bay each. In the afternoon at some point there is an informal board round on the ward where all patients are discussed with the consultants regarding any new investigations and progress with the plans. Teaching on Thursday afternoons in education centre. You will usually do 2 presentations at this teaching on the rotation. On-calls are the same as any other medical job at the Alexandra.
