Catering

The RHC has it's own Aroma cafe adjacent to the main entrance. However, staff based here also have easy access to the adult catering facilities, which are just a few minutes walk away.

Orthopaedic Department

In contrast to the adult hospital next door, the RHC has much smaller feel. There are 8 Consultants who share an office over in the Office Block. However, the middle grades have access to an office on the 3rd floor of the RHC. This includes computers, lockers, tea/coffee facilities and a folding bed for on-calls. There are also shower/lockers across the corridors for those who cycle to work and to freshen up before the trauma meeting. 

​

The orthopaedic patients tend to be spread over a few different locations. Day surgery is located on 1A/1B and 2C is receiving for all specialties, except most orthopaedics. 2C is usually separated into a 'surgical' portion and a 'medical' portion. Most orthopaedic trauma and in-patient elective patients are likely to be found on 3C or 1D (PICU). Elective and fracture clinics are usually held in 'Clnic 2', whereas the plaster room is located across the atrium in 'Clinic 7'.

​

During the rotation, trainees will spend a 6 month placement at the RHC. The rota currently has 7 middle grades, with no junior tier. A 1 in 7 overnight non-residential on-call system is in operation. This rota may be subject to change.
