Employment History:
Pre-Registration Posts: August 1998 - February 1999: Kent & Canterbury Hospital Mr D. B. Jackson (General Surgery): As a House Surgeon I spent six months working on a busy general surgical firm at Kent & Canterbury Hospital, which involved a 1 in 5 on-call rota with internal cover. I gained experience in managing a wide variety of surgical patients and enjoyed working in a team where I have been able to contribute to decisions regarding medical management of patients, especially when my senior colleagues were busy in theatre. February 1999 - August 1999 : St Thomas' Hospital, London Dr A. Hopper (General Medicine & Elderly Care): The first three months of my House Physician post at St Thomas' Hospital involved a 1 in 5 rota with internal cover, and 20 admissions per week on average. When on-call I was part of the cardiac arrest team. I was responsible for 6 elderly care beds as part of the multidisciplinary team, and 15-20 general medical patients. Dr D. Coltart & Dr M. Webb-Peploe (General Medicine & Cardiology): The second half of my St Thomas' post continued the same on-call rota. I was responsible for 20-30 general medical and cardiology patients, with frequent referrals from other firms. General Medical Rotation: November 1999 - February 2001: Kent & Canterbury Hospital Dr P. Stevens, Dr P. Carmichael & Dr M. Webb (Renal Medicine): The first six-month block of my rotation was spent as one of two SHOs attached to the Renal Department at the K&C Hospital. This is the regional centre for renal medicine in East Kent, and the post involved responsibility for inpatients with acute and chronic renal disease, and providing cover for the haemodialysis unit and CAPD clinic. The 1 in 4 on-call rota included cover for the oncology and haematology specialities, and also for general medicine overnight, as part of the cardiac arrest team. Dr Y. F. Williams, Dr M. Leahy & Dr M. Winter (Haematology): My current post is a six-month placement with the Haematology Department. As the only SHO I am responsible for the day-to-day care of inpatients with a variety of haematological disorders, and also for outpatients requiring transfusions, venesection or chemotherapy. The post also enables me to gain experience of the laboratory-based aspects of haematological medicine. The on-call rota is the same as for renal medicine. Providing Prospective Cover (General Medicine & Care of the Elderly): As part of the medical rotation, I have spent four months providing prospective cover for colleagues on annual or study-leave. These two-month blocks involve a variety of short SHO posts including general medicine, oncology and a total of two months working for the Care of the Elderly team. The on-call rota was 1 in 4 for all these posts and this part of the rotation is fully accredited for training by the Royal College of Physicians. Practical Procedures:
Publications: Series Editor of Mosby's Crash Course revision books: Crash Course is a series of revision texts for medical students, written by medical students. Each book integrates the anatomy, physiology, pharmacology and cell biology of the system in question, and introduces relevant clinical skills. I was responsible with designing the structure and content of the series, recruiting authors and managing the development process from conception to transmission for printing. I also wrote a number of chapters where required during the project. The books have now been translated into Russian, Chinese, Spanish, German and other languages. I am currently planning the Second Edition of this successful series.
Interests and Activities: Student Medical Education Committee (SMEC): This is an elected student body at UMDS funded by and accountable to the medical school. I was an active member of this organisation and undertook the following roles:
Association for the Study of Medical Education (ASME): I was elected to the Student Council of this national society during the annual Edinburgh conference, 1997. My other interests include photography, gardening, hiking, off-road biking and running. I also enjoy the theatre, cinema and reading. I have been actively involved in mess social events during both house jobs and my current rotation. References: Dr A.J.
