Training for StRs takes place mainly in the Royal Infirmary (RIE) and the Western General Hospitals (WGH) in Edinburgh, but you will rotate to St John’s Hospital (SJH) in West Lothian, Victoria Infirmary in Kirkcaldy or the Borders General Hospital for general medicine placements. If you are doing an FY2 placement you will be based at the metabolic unit at WGH. GP placements in diabetes lasting 3 months take place at both RIE and WGH. There are agreed management protocols for diabetes and endocrinology that are used in both RIE and WGH. These are all available on the intranet under the Metabolic Unit Handbook at http://intranet.lothian.scot.nhs.uk/NHSLothian/Healthcare/A- Z/Diabetes/DiabInfoforHealthProf/ECEhandbook/Pages/MetabolicUnitHandbook.aspx Please take some time to read these protocols. As part of the strategy to streamline endocrine services in Edinburgh, the diabetes and endocrine units at RIE, WGH and SJH have amalgamated to function as a single unit: the Edinburgh Centre for Endocrinology and Diabetes (ECED). There is a shared administrative structure and integration of clinical services in endocrinology across the three sites. Weekly cross-site meetings are held to facilitate case discussion and review of unified protocols for investigation and management. ECED meetings also incorporate MDTs and liaison meetings with allied specialties. ECED meetings take place every Monday from 4 to 5pm (with an additional meeting 08.30-9.15 on the 1st Monday of the month) in the Blackford room at the RIE postgraduate education centre and the Padfield room at the WGH Metabolic Unit, using the MCU-5 bridge. The thyroid/endocrine pathology MDT runs monthly (generally 4th Monday of the month). Other topics covered and the appropriate lead clinicians (who generate the agendas) are given below. ECED meetings are coordinated by Dr Fraser Gibb. The monthly pituitary MRI meeting runs separately on the last Friday of the month at 2pm at WGH. Topic Lead clinician Thyroid/pathology MDT Mark Strachan/Fraser Gibb Case presentations Fraser Gibb Protocol review Roger Brown Clinical chemistry liaison Mike Crane/Cathy Shearing Rep endo liaison Richard Anderson Paeds liaison Rod Mitchell Morbidity and mortality Nicola Zammitt There are also evening meetings in diabetes and endocrinology at RCPE and GIM teaching days at RCPE every month to 6 weeks. These should be considered mandatory training for registrars.

More detailed guidance on subspecialty training will be offered at the training programme induction, and a document detailing the subspecialty training opportunities is in development. While registrars are at RIE, they should arrange to attend foot clinics with Dr Matthew Young (Monday and Wednesday mornings), diabetes retinopathy clinics at the Princess Alexandra Eye Pavilion (Dr Karen Madill) and paediatric endocrine clinics with Dr Louise Bath at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children (all contactable on nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk Emails).

They need to be informed of any leave requests, HAN commitments and GIM study days when making up the rota. Annual and study leave request forms (obtainable from Sue Veitch) need to be approved from a service perspective by Dr Zammitt and then passed on to Sue. Leave must be authorised with at least 6 weeks’ notice. StRs are entitled to up to 30 days of study leave per year, and have an allocated annual study leave budget of £500.

  • Ellen's Glen House – Hawthorn Ward
    Ellen’s Glen House – Hawthorn Ward Hawthorn ward is a 30 bedded complex clinical care ward which specialises in palliative and end of life care. We have two respite beds which enable us to provide support for families caring for their loved one at home. Our patient group can vary from someone in the late 40s to someone in their 90s. Patients are complex and have multiple co-morbidities ranging from Cancer, Stroke, Parkinsons Disease, MS and Diabetes to name a few. Hawthorn ward is located on the first floor of Ellen’s Glen House, which is part of Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnerships community hospitals and is situated on Edinburgh’s Southside just off the Lasswade Road. It easily accessed by Bus or car and has its own onsite parking. We aspire to provide excellent, individualised care and actively encourage patients and their relatives to be involved in any decisions regarding their care. We strive to provide high quality person centred care for our patients and the team works very hard to achieve these goals. Unfortunately our patients tend to be with us for short periods of time, due to the nature of their illness. This makes it even more important for us as a team to ensure we give them a sense of belonging and worth, and help make meaningful contributions to decisions on their care and wellbeing. Hawthorn ward has a friendly and welcoming team environment. It is a great place to start off your Nursing career and equally we welcome staff with experience. There are plenty opportunities to enhance your knowledge and undertake further training ie: Flying start, National Procedural Award, extended roles.

  • Introduction
    Lothian Enteral Tube Feeding Best Practice Statement Introduction This document has been produced by the Lothian Enteral Tube Feeding Best Practice Statement Review Group. The group was established in May 2012 and devised a workplan. The remit of the Review Group was to update the Lothian Enteral Tube Feeding Best Practice Statement for Adults and Children that was published in December 2007. The content of the original document was reviewed, updated as necessary and new sections added to incorporate evidence since 2007. Where possible the recommendations are based on evidence, research or National Guidance. Where this was not available some statements are based on consensus of expert opinion and any related reference(s) listed. The Best Practice Statement applies to all adult, paediatric and neonate patients in Lothian, with the exception of the neonates in Simpson’s Reproductive Centre, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and St John’s Hospital. It is intended that this best practice statement should be implemented across NHS Lothian for hospitals and community. The Best Practice Statement will be reviewed on a rolling programme as required. At time of publication, some sections are currently under review, and this is clearly stated within the document.
