UK Rotations

[smumd]

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone's gonna be starting rotations later this month in London? Wonder what the weather's like, heard its kinda gray over there.

well here is the website for whipps cross hospital where u'll be at:

Whipps Cross - Homepage (http://www.whippsx.nhs.uk/)

i guess ur doing electives there since the cores started last month so not sure if anyone else will be with u on ur rotation. good luck anyway.

Thanks for the link but the hospital is actually Ealing not Whipps Cross and I think I'll be doing IM. Do you know anything about this other hospital?

Hi!

I'm currently at Ealing- and I had too missed the start date for whipps (by ONE day!) so the school was able to offer me a chance to do all my cores at a new site for SMU in london. I think the next batch of SMU'ers will be here Mid Feb- and there are even a few here doing elective rotations (cardio, infectious disease etc)

The hospital is great- you'll mostly be with other Imperial Uni students (very bright!) and Ealing itself is not so bad- you'll be about 40 min minmum by central line to central london-

Let me know if you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

good luck!

Do any of you currently in the UK know if North Americans can obtain UK medical residencies?

Can anyone share their experiences at Ealing hospital? Thanks in advance

What is the housing situation when you go to London? My major concern with going over there is the fact that it will be very expensive with housing and food, minus if I even wanted to go out....

Does anyone know if we will have trouble getting residencies in the US when match time comes if we do any UK rotations?

it has not been a problem in the past. Several students have done that

One would hope it holds up to be true.
