5. Things to Note Travel Arrangements The nearest underground station to NUH is Plaistow on the District and Hammersmith and City Lines: NUH is a 5-10 minute bus ride from the station (bus routes 262 or 473) or a 20 minute walk. Outpatient clinics take place in Health Central at Zone 6. The Newham site also includes the Gateway Surgical Centre where most of the day surgery and elective surgery takes place. Diabetes and chest clinics are located at the Shrewsbury Centre, about 2 miles from NUH and a 5 minute walk from East Ham Tube station (District line). The 376 bus from the hospital main entrance also takes you to Shrewsbury Centre. If travelling by car, please note that Newham’s Visitors car park is “pay and display”. The fees are displayed and there are no waivers for students. Please use visitor parking spaces and NOT the staff spaces. Library There is a well stocked library located on the first floor of the Education Centre which you are encouraged to use. The staff of the library will give you any help needed. There are very good computer facilities for literature searches, a Cyber room with 6 terminals, scanner and printer all accessible via library services. Telephones Most Telephones on the wards, corridors and Education Centre are connected directly to the switchboard at NUH. Dial the extension directly if you know it, or Dial 0 to contact the operator. Dial 3133 for security. To Bleep Dial 66: wait for the announcement then type in the bleep number, tel extension, # and replace the receiver. Wait by the phone for the person you have bleeped to call you back. Please be patient. .

6. Things to Note • Lockers and Facilities • Lockers are available in the Education Centre on the ground floor corridor, between the Lecture theatre and Events room. You will have to provide your own padlock and key. Please remember to clear your locker and take your padlock when you leave. • There is a major problem with theft in any hospital so you are encouraged to make the best use of the lockers. • The Education Centre doors lock automatically so please note the following times: • Ground Floor 0745 – 19.00 • Rear doors (access to stairs) Mon-Fri 0745 – 1730 • If you get locked out/in please contact security on x3133 to help, though please bear in mind this can take some time so do not make a habit of leaving your possessions behind. • Please keep the locker room tidy – DO NOT LEAVE THEATRE BLUES IN THE ROOM. THIS IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY HAZARD • Toilets are located on the Ground Floor of the Education Centre, in the main corridor out side the Education Centre and outside the restaurant in zone 4. • There are two Cash Machines on site: located in the Ground Floor Corridor of the main hospital (these machines charge a small fee). Always be discreet when using the machines and ensure no one can see your pin. • The nearest post office, newsagents and chemist are on Prince Regent Lane, 5 minutes walk away. • Unfortunately the doctors Mess at NUH is not large enough to accommodate students. • .

7. Things to Note Restaurants and Coffee Shops The restaurant is located on the 1st floor – Zone 4, at NUH. The restaurant stays open most of the day till 8pm (though does not serve hot food between 11.30-12.00 and 17.30-18.00). There is an adjacent coffee lounge with vending machines. There is Costa Coffee Shop in the Health Central (opening times 08:00-18:00), as well as a coffee shop in the Gateway Surgical Centre.

10. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US • TEACHING SESSIONS • Firm-based teaching forms the main part of your curriculum. • Additional teaching sessions are as follows: • Bedside teaching - Monday mornings • Meet outside teaching fellows’ office. Note: it is your responsibility to find and consent suitable patients before the session. ONE PATIENT PER STUDENT • PBL – Monday afternoons • Generic topic teaching – Tuesday lunchtimes (see timetable) • Clinical skills – see timetable later in handbook • Pharmacy teaching – see timetable later in handbook • Note: attendance is mandatory for all sessions. • Timetables for teaching sessions are available in this booklet or on the student notice board in the education centre. • Teaching Website – additional teaching resources (including tutorials, examination atlases and quizzes) are available at: http://qmplus.qmul.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=2996

11. WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU Attendance – this is a full time course, and attendance is compulsory. You should inform the undergraduate coordinator and your consultant of any unavoidable absences. You must sign in every morning after 08.30 with your swipe card on the barcode reader located on the ground floor of the Education Department outside Office 2. We also keep registers for teaching sessions. Attendance is reported to the Medical School. Be punctual. Patient contact – we are fortunate to look after patients who have a wide variety of clinical pathology here at Newham. Please do use this to your advantage and maximise every opportunity to learn from our patients, but remember to always treat them with respect. Patient clerkings – you must perform a full history and full examination of at least 5 patients per week. Written clerkings - you should submit 5 written clerkings to your firm during your time at Newham. These will form part of your end-of-firm assessment. On calls – attend at least 4 on calls with junior doctors from your team, and attend the post-take ward round when your consultant has been on call. Note: It may be more useful to attend on calls with your FY2 or registrar than your FY1, who is likely to have mainly ward jobs to attend to. Outpatient clinics – discuss appropriate times to attend with your consultant. These are a really useful opportunity to see clinical signs and clerk patients. Logbooks – complete tasks required by the medical school as detailed in your log books. SSC – one half day a week can be used for SSC-related work. Details of SSC requirements can be found in your medical school handbook.
