Now 3 SpRs (one when I was there)
Two staff grades
One SSHO
Two wards adjacent to theatres (3) and offices. Ie very handy
On call 1:6 24 hours (technically non-resident after 9pm)
Weekends not split
No cross cover of leave, so relaxed timetable.
Graham / Blagg both recent Oxford trainees giving excellent teaching.
Channon senior consultant, who allows significant amount of operating, if SpR
has appropriate experience. Hence more suitable for a senior trainee.
Taylor has very broad practice and is technically excellent surgeon, but a
number of SpRs have demanding standards difficult to live up to.
A&E dept fairly weak, but on calls generally quiet.
All this will all change massively when the merger with Stoke occurs (Autumn
05). Trauma @ stoke & elective @ wyc (as per Slough). Suggest you revise
once working patterns established. At present there is no indication as what
SpR working patterns will be, as consultant rota not agreed.
Generally a friendly DGH.
Cheers
