Physician associate students
We are delighted to have you here and hope your time with us is educational and fun.
You may even decide to pursue Respiratory Medicine as a career (clearly the best specialty).
You will most likely spend time in Ward 107 (4th Floor Green Zone), or in Clinic C (Orange Zone). When you start your Respiratory block please introduce yourself to our Physician Associates who are often in Office 6 on Ward 107 or out on the ward, they will help you settle in.
Dr Scott is your Educational Supervisor and she can provide you with a timetable of activities. Other consultants will be about, COW-A (consultant of the week on Ward 107) and COW-B (sees boarded patients and referrals during 9am-5pm Monday to Friday).
You will have various electronic forms that need filled out and signed. If Dr Scott is not about then ask whoever is COW-A or COW-B to help you. It makes sense to get the forms filled in by colleagues who have seen you in action!
If you have any questions or concerns then contact Dr Scott's secretary (hazel.mccartney2@nhs.scot).
Best of luck and we hope you learn a lot!
Banke, Kathryn and Sangeetha from our PA team in Respiratory
