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 />
