Handover
Normal day is 8-5. Handover starts at 8 usually in the education centre where night team handover any unwell patients or new admissions overnight to the ward. After this ward round is done on the ward with the consultant (done a lot quicker than medical ward rounds). Jobs are split between the juniors and there is an afternoon board round in the education centre where the seniors will check up on the progress of plans and any new investigation results. You will either be sent to the urology ward 17, urology same day emergency care (to clerk urology patients) or to ward 18 (post op ward for major surgeries e.g. nephrectomies). On call is from 8-8 (there is an SHO and F1), night shift is 8-8 (there is an SHO and F1). On-call F1 is on ward 17 while SHO is in USDEC. Night SHO is expected to clerk referrals and night F1 is expected to cover ward 17 and 18. Rota is arranged so that there is at least 3-4 juniors a day.
