Breast Surgery
Welcome and introduction
Welcome, we hope your time with us will be both rewarding and enjoyable. The purpose of this handbook is to provide you with basic information about the department, but it is not exhaustive. The breast team are all very approachable and the consultants are all very “hands on” with their patients, if you are unsure about anything with any of their patients, always feel free to ask!

Annual and study leave guidance
Electronic requests to rota co-ordinator for both annual and study leave – 6 week notice required.
Any long days/bank holidays/night shifts must be swapped prior to taking leave. Swap forms to be emailed to rota co-ordinator.
Accommodation
Surgical registrar on nights can get a key from security (office outside entrance to A&E), if you’re lucky enough and it’s quiet enough for you to get your head down. There is a phone and computer in the on call rooms. You may wish to book a room as there are not always rooms available. On call rooms in the hospital accommodation can be booked (via Sue Morris on 5834 or susan.morris11@nhs.net) for doctors on long days or nights if you don’t feel safe to drive home after a shift. Emergency on call room keys can be obtained from security if needed after a bad shift. Please don’t drive home if you are not safe to do so.
Ward numbers
All start with 20 and followed by ward number
Eg. Ward 44 = 2044
