Worked here in FY2.
Pro's:
-Good levels of staffing.
-Lots of good quality teaching.
-Daily consultant ward rounds Mon-Fri (unlike some other surgical specialities in ARI).
-Interesting patient population.
-Opportunities to go to theatre / hold the registrar bleep. Well supported when acting up.
Con's:
-Some of the consultants can be grumpy / passive aggressive at times.
-Academic FY2's have a good rota. Non-academic FY2's spend a lot of time split between Vasc and Gen Surg. Their rota is very busy.
Overall:
-Good training experience. Would recommend.
