Friendly & well supported, great critical care outreach team. Lacks some facilities e.g. no hot food or drinks at night unless you can get to the mess and make your own. Offices & spaces often a bit r...

This hospital is the pits - working here is the epitome of moral injury that is causing burnout in doctors

Buckle up. Organisation and staffing at Medway is catastrophic. The-on calls are intensely busy and juniors and staff are stretched with very poor senior support. Next to no opportunity for rest on ...

Very friendly hospital. Good support out of hours as the clinical practitioners filter some of the bleeps overnight and the clinical techs are amazing for tricky bloods/cannulas. This does mean you ca...

Terrible programme. Barely any teaching, incredibly dangerous, absent of any leadership.

A nice small friendly hospital to do FY1 at. You will be part of a cohort of approximately 20 doctors, so you all get to know eachother and there is a reasonably good social life through the doctors m...

Busy hospital but generally well supported for FY and very good exposure to acuity for further training.

- Monthly Foundation teaching ('Joint Teaching') for FY1/FY2s (together) - 'Geriatrics' - six geris wards including stroke ward; can either be a 4-month geris (most FY1s) or 2-month geris/acute (some ...

worked as an F1 there Actually I loved GRI. The old building is so cool and full of history. On a nice day you can grab aroma coffee and go to the rooftop with the amazing views! As F1 you work A LO...

I did my F2 year here (F1 at St. Mary’s). I had a good set of jobs including ENT, ED and GP. Really enjoyed all of those, though obviously the ED rota is tough going for 4 months.

The good is good and departmentally, better than most others in the trust. The bad is more related to training in the hospital in general, and the usual rota/HR management side of things. Friendliness...

Some departments are better/friendlier than others. General medicine is very friendly for example. There’s a few nasties in every department though, I found medicine more friendly overall more than th...

This SHOULD NEVER BE a training hospital. There is no support, no training, no teaching provided. Junior doctors are left alone, very often moved from one ward to another affecting continuity, supervi...

Would not recommend. Very senior lead, juniors' jobs almost entirely admin based, zero medicine. No support for junior doctors from hospital. No mess facilities. Limited learning opportunities other t...

Very poor. Very much service provision. Lack of senior support.

Good teaching programme, with regular teaching slots every week, unfortunately a little disrupted by COVID. Good simulation suite with allocated sim teaching.

Small hospital feel, you will know virtually all the doctors by the end of the year. Frequent IMG turnover, with expectation for foundation trainees to take up some slack whilst the NHS system is lear...

So friendly, wonderful and supportive DGH but avoid a general surgery job

A rotation here is an exercise in service provision. Doctors in every discipline, except O&G and paeds oddly, have said that they have not worked in a hospital as poorly run. I have heard Medway and N...

Abandon all hope ye who enter. Hospital is falling apart. Frequently understaffed. Very limited teaching/support. Has the feel of a hospital that was dreadful forty years ago. A & E has to be one of t...

Overstretched hospital, good for acquiring confidence, not so good for extracurricular activity. Found the medical/geriatrics side of things reasonably well supported with some concern displayed towar...

Worked here a few years ago as an fy2 and probably had one of the most damaging experiences of my life. Was treated so poorly that I gained 50kg during the 4 months I was there and was fantasising abo...

In general, I would avoid FY in Queen's - it made me very disillusioned. Busy DGH with lots of tertiary services (kind of like a tertiary masquerading as a DGH). Large catchment area covering East Lo...

Bolton is a lovely, friendly hospital to work in. Most placements are well supported. But as a busy DGH there is minimal training and lots of sevrice provision. There are few to no opportunities to ...

Training on the whole is very good in ARI. Much friendlier than a lot of the larger hospitals and seniors generally will get to know you and treat you well. Hours can be very variable depending on spe...

In my opinion, this hospital should not have trainees. As evidenced by the GMC survey (who knows if PAH has been investigated based on its poor results), and by reviewers here, there is also a more ge...

Supportive, friendly hospital. Predominantly service provision with relatively uninterested consultant body in teaching. Reliant on IMGs for most F3/SHO posts

Did my Foundation Training here. Continuing to work here as a middle grade. General: A friendly place to work. Big enough to have practically every speciality under one roof but small enough that you...

Did T&O, O&G and A&E. T&O was the worst, no theatre experience, basically a ward monkey. O&G Obstetrics was very well supported, gynaecology is not great but getting better. A&E had an excellent team....

Very friendly hospital. Free on site accommodation in F1 year. Not luxury but great opportunity to meet other F1 doctors and save money. Amazing location if you like the outdoors. Nice pubs in Conwy a...

Undersupported FY1 year, on SHO rotas for rotations and lack of induction. Not enough senior support and expected to cover large number of wards. In comparison to colleagues elsewhere felt undersuppo...

Really really lovely hospital. The Foundation programme director is great- so approachable, contactable and interested in the F1s, and they have a Wellbeing officer who similarly would be there for an...

Would not recommend.

Very supportive medical education department. You don't always get the best foundation teaching (cancelled often during COVID-19); however, the actual staff of the medical education department give of...

Poor rota - including continuously working for 9 days

VERY BUSY i worked on a medical ward and there were many occasions where the most senior person on the ward was an FY2 - and nobody batted an eyelid at this. FY2s/SHOs were thought to be trained enoug...

Small and very friendly DGH where everyone knows everyone. Limited training opportunities in foundation as the small number of procedures are taken by IMTs. Very supported as a new doctor and good wor...

Good focus on getting foundation docs to teaching. Good variety of academic and practical (IE how trust does mouth care, how to refer to diabetes team etc) teaching sessions. Teaching is rarely cancel...

Surprisingly functional. A very busy DGH with some random tertiary level care (eg urology, has PPCI). Pros Good balance of responsibility and support. Feel like a confident SHO coming out of the fou...

Things to expect if you start work at PAH: 1. Generally friendly environment, pleasant staff 2. Rota is busy and doesn't allow for good work-life balance, both SHO and SpR level 3. Understaffed with ...

Its a really friendly place, well supported in the main. No expectations to come in early or stay late. Big Drs mess although recently badly run. Expensive and difficult to get accommodation near by. ...
