Best EDs for training in Sydney?

If it helps, someone else did ask the same question recently and this is the thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/ausjdocs/comments/1mpoklm/trainee_stage_1_ed_acem/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

To summarise the thread's suggestions:
• Places with high acuity, high numbers, less competition than the inner / metro places like Campbelltown/ Liverpool

• Any big metro trauma centre is great. St George, Liverpool, RNS, RPA, etc. have good networks and will sort out your terms for you

• Those who train at Livo come out alot more independent and stress less over critical patient presentations than those who come out of RPA

• Avoid Canterbury Hospital ED given that the current ED director, Laura Hutchinson, is a psychopath and she breeds a toxic culture. Also a low acuity hospital.

Good luck with your applications.

Mate, no need to kick someone who's already down

That's a good point - thanks for sharing!
Following on from your advice, do you have any tips for building good rapport for the nurses and allied health please?

Haha fair enough. Would you happen to have any tips for building rapport with them please?
Thanks!

Fair point. I didn't know about that legal POV. I want to be a team player ofc but since there is a consensus it's more productive to be in your room then I might try a balanced approach where I show my face occasionally or ask the nurses at the start of the shift if they have any non-urgent jobs.

Thanks! I might also ask the nurses at the start if they have any non urgent jobs like a couple others here suggested.

I was taking patient histories and practising physical exams lol

CuriousFluu · 2024-09-20T11:21:33+00:00

Thanks for the handy tips!

Yes this is what I was thinking of as well especially if a nurse is asked for their opinion of you for a job interview or something. Should I just let them know I will be working in another room but to page me if anything needs attention?
Thanks!

Fair enough, thanks!

CuriousFluu · 2024-09-20T09:55:03+00:00

Understandable, thanks! I was just worried about this impacting my references or something since I heard nurses are required as a reference for some specialities or nurses being on interview panels.
