St Mark's & LNWH have a major teaching commitment and we have recently been awarded University Hospital status after being granted membership of the Association of UK University Hospitals. Educational courses are run throughout the year from the Academic Institute. The division also manages the General and emergency surgery & outpatient services across three sites (Northwick Park, Ealing and Central Middlesex). The General Surgery Team has a dedicated Consultant-led Surgical Assessment Unit and Ambulatory Hot Clinic supporting the A&E flow as well as vast exposure to complex and innovative trauma surgery management. The implementation of the new junior doctor contract has provided an opportunity to create an exciting new rota which both provides excellent training opportunities and robust service provision. 13 new posts have been created, to join with the 3 current Deanery appointed trainees, to work a fully integrated 16 person rota. The rota is organised in weekly blocks to provide continuity and only one week of nights, plus one weekend of nights is worked during the 16 week period.
