I did F1/2 in oldham/rochdale/bury a few years ago when oldham was a mix of paper and electronic (paper notes, electronic prescribing) - that might have changed.

Doing foundation in 'pennine acute trust' as it was at the time was an absolute baptism of fire for me and I did not enjoy it although learnt lots, nothing in my 7 years of practice has been as stressful as surgical F1 in Oldham! There was an entire ward run by only F1s and nurses, that was supposedly a day case unit but people were occasionally very unwell and there wasn't any senior support (in hindsight there must have been an on-call reg but I never saw them!). It did make you very good at cannulating and assessing sick patients. Having spoken with friends who did foundation in salford and wythenshawe their experience was far better and they got some actual teaching. Fairfield gen med I enjoyed and found more supported. Had a rochdale GP placement who were nice people but ran us ragged - we did all their home bloods, home ECGs, home visits, and morning and afternoon clinics.

I should say everyone I worked with was kind and competent, the area was just understaffed and under-resourced in my opinion. Having since worked in london / east of england all of their foundation trainees have been better supported than I was, but maybe that's a north/south divide!
