Rota
Your first port of call for rota or general queries should usually be through the shared doctors in training inbox:
fv.doctorsintraining@nhs.scot
For education leads see: Key Contacts
The medical rota is a complex beast which is overseen by Dr Iain Morrison and Julie Innes. All leave requests should be submitted using the below forms (also on V Drive), ideally more than 6 weeks in advance. Please bear in mind that not all requests can be granted as safe staffing needs to be a priority, however the team will do their utmost to try to accommodate.
Swaps can be facilitated as long as the rota remains compliant, however you may only swap with someone on the same rota line. E.g. CDFs can only swap among themselves. All swaps must be approved by the rota team.
- Medical Rota FAQs – answers many FAQs relating to the rota or the roles of each team member.
Sickness
On the first day call 01324 566857 and leave message advising name, grade, ward, nature of illness and expected return date. This line is only managed during office hours so in the OOH period please also call duty manager on 01324 567902 with same information.
The above steps should be followed daily (unless you have a GP line) and you must also call to let us know when you have returned to work.
