General Medicine WGH

Welcome to your 10 week Medical block at the Western General Hospital. During this placement, you will have the opportunity to carry out shifts on the medical ward with members of the multidisciplinary team.

 
First day arrangements

Please attend your timetabled ward and team for the morning meeting at 9am in the doctors office. Uniform policy applies.

Introduce yourselves to the resident doctors, who will take you on the ward round. You will be met for induction separately at some point in your first few days.

Absence reporting

In the event you are unable to attend for your shift, please contact Kelly Black on 0131 537 1728 or contact the ward area you are due to attend directly, on the contact numbers listed. Please do not leave a message if no-one answers, as we cannot guarantee these will be picked up. In addition to this, can you also please email johanna.hofer@nhs.scot.
