SpR ward<br />

round<br />

*All SpR activities take place at St Peter’s hospital except an alternate week endocrine<br />

clinic. There is a shuttle bus that runs between the 2 sites on a frequent basis. A 15<br />

minute drive separates the two sites.<br />

**Over the next year the department is looking to alter the thyroid clinic organisation <strong>and</strong><br />

aim to change the SpR timetable to have an alternate week thyroid clinic <strong>and</strong> a weekly<br />

endocrine clinic.<br />

The general medical teams are “ward-based” <strong>and</strong> on average have 15-20 in patients. Dr<br />

Ward <strong>and</strong> Dr Naqvi alternate the ward cover on a four monthly basis but this does not alter<br />

the registrar timetable. The on call rota is currently 1 in 10 with the nights in blocks of 3<br />

<strong>and</strong> 4.<br />
