Face to face clinics have now been largely reinstated in general surgery check with your supervisor for details.
Each student will be attached to a consultant/team, the team comprises 2 General Surgery consultants; you should follow their timetable for the placement, this will vary each week depending on their on-call or Front-Door commitment. Due to current circumstances the consultant’s rota for each week is only available at the end of the previous week and will be made available to you then.
Social distancing as a result of Covid-19 limits our ability to safely run face to face tutorials. You should attend grand rounds or foundation doctor teaching and Departmental Teaching with your ward team.
There is an extensive formal programme of tutorials to supplement ward work, these cover a range of topics and are delivered by consultants, specialty doctors and trainees these will be delivered via MS teams. All tutorials can be found in the Undergraduate Events page of this website.
