Acute Medicine – Shift practice and rota
The CMT doctors attached to the Emergency Floor do not work nights or full weekend on-call shifts. Instead your banding is maintained by working daytime shifts of either, 08:00-18:00, 11:00-19:00 or 12:00-20:00hrs.
You will also be expected to work 1:5 Saturday and Sunday 08:00-13:00 reviewing patients on the Emergency Floor who have been identified for potential discharge using the weekend discharge handover system.
A typical 08:00-18:00 week:
