SpR?s
There are currently 11 SpR?s in the above specialities as well as CMT trainees, FY1 and FY2 doctors.

The hospital also has fully staffed departments of neurology, nephrology, oncology, haematology, dermatology, rheumatology, haematology, and elderly medicine. It is likely VTS trainees will gain experience of patients from these specialities as part of their work on the department.

Experience available

a) Clinical
In each department you have opportunities to gain in- and out- patient experience and will take part in the acute unselected medical take where you will be based in the purpose built acute medical unit working with the acute medical team. We have been able to preserve a degree of team working when on call and you will always be part of a team consisting of a resident SpR, ST and FY2 trainees and a consultant on call. You will be expected to present cases on the twice daily consultant led post take ward rounds.
There is open access to full diagnostic imaging facilities including CT, MRI, a cardiac catheter lab and nuclear imaging with all biochemical, haematology and pathology services on site.

b) Educational
There are a number of educational sessions held each week: a hospital grand round, a departmental case presentation meeting, and MRCP teaching (to which you are welcome). In addition there is a monthly audit session. Several departments also run their own speciality education sessions/case presentations usually at lunchtime.
