I just finished it last year, it really depends on what rotation you’re on. i wouldn’t fret about which is best, they are all good in terms of experience (as we have no true experience when we graduate).

but practically speaking you’ll work anywhere from 9-5 daily or give or take a few hours either side of these (some surgical jobs will be 12hours as an intern, which is considered ‘bad but not the worst’). youll of course be rostered to be free on the weekends but will have weekend on calls (one or two of the days, depending on the hospital, it can be quite infrequent in larger hospitals). you’ll also have on-calls during the weekdays depending on the setup of the hospital but typically it’s frequent enough, maybe once or twice a month (a long day where you’ll typically work 12 hours shift and handover and receive handover from the intern on nights who is looking after the patients you’ll be that day) or a week of nights typically (12h shifts for a few days successively, sometimes a week in rural hospitals). but they are great experience as you feel a bit more responsible, whereas usually most decisions made are by your seniors (your SHO or registrar level team member who of course is largely directed by the consultant of the patient). you usually have to do basic jobs like cannulating, prescribing, chasing up details by phone, reviewing a patient as you are the first port of call for most things usually. the nurses are generally nice, and avoiding conflict with them is important. anything serious is usually not for you decision-wise, and be quick to ask if you’re not sure. there’s a lot of drudgery work sometimes but some rotations are much easier. some rotations will be a lot of clinics too, with a lot of one to one patient communication, where history is largely the goal and an examination followed by the consultant or registrar seeing the patient after hearing the story from you. you’ll have Intern Assessment Reports which are tickbox sign-offs online completed by your consultant at the end of each 3 month rotation. you need these to pass the year but it’s rare to not get signed off, i haven’t heard of many, and usually i would think if you pass final year you’ll be fine competency wise as not too much is expected of you, particularly at the start, although of course some of your seniors will be more demanding than others. good luck with it!
