Immediately after closing the school gates, we moved to remote learning, with live online lessons, following the normal timetable. We held our first virtual RGS Day; our Class of 2020 celebrated joining the ONA with a digital leavers’ ceremony; and our teachers have risen to the challenge to ensure our students have maintained an amazing breadth and depth of education. This experience has helped our pupils develop the ability to learn independently as well as acting as a catalyst for the school to engage with education technology. I am incredibly proud of the positivity, the proactivity and the collaborative approach taken by our students, parents and staff; we really are a family at RGS. The last Term has also brought into stark relief the specific needs of our small community of Bursary students and their families, who are critical to the ethos of the school. As at the end of Summer Term 2020, we had 76 Bursary Students in the school, t gives me great pleasure to introduce the latest each one having won their place based on their thematic ONA Magazine, Meet the Medics. ability and potential.

ONA | OLD NOVOCASTRIANS’ ASSOCIATION MAGAZINE | ISSUE 108 | AUTUMN 2020 1 FROM THE GUEST EDITOR BY SIMON BARKER HEAD OF ENGLISH I did remark to one of the contributors in the following pages that it was odd for the Head of English to be invited to guest edit a magazine on Meet the Medics; the reply came back that it was not remotely odd. It is indeed true that I have taught very many medics over the years, and written many of their university references. he RGS has sent more people into the medical professions T than into any other. So we faced a colossal problem: the enormous embarrassment of riches on which to draw. It is a good, but challenging, problem to have! The Chorus to Shakespeare’s Henry V apologises at the outset for the ‘wooden O’ that is the Globe theatre, in being unable to do justice to the immense story that is to follow: for each character on stage ‘On your imaginary forces work’, ‘Into a thousand parts divide one man’ who appears there. And we have to make the same appeal: do not be offended, gentles all, if you are not here. The pages that follow can only be a tiny, representative snapshot. at school that its ONs fondly recall (and of the roll call of teachers who But what a snapshot it is! ‘Medics’ we emerge, old and new, who helped to are taking in an inclusive way (including facilitate them). But the other striking dentists, vets, nurses, doctors and other thing is the interconnectedness of the medical professionals). All of that is stories: how a thread or a name here is honoured somewhere in these pages, picked up somewhere else, which also even if it could not be by an article. The On your imaginary manages to reflect the team nature of first thing that is especially pleasing is the what many of the medics here celebrate diversity of story (the only brief was to tell forces work” in their profession. that story from any angle of the writer’s choice), reflected in the diversity of age, It has been a delight to work with the gender, ethnicity, specialism, experience. team at school on this issue and with the It endorses what Kalum calls ‘the broad team of contributors, all of whom willingly church’ of Medicine and Thomas its gave up precious time. Here is our ‘unrivalled range of opportunity’. It is also ‘wooden O’ and, on its stage (as a moving to read about the varied range in Shakespeare contemporary puts it), qualities of opportunities and experiences ‘infinite riches in a little room’.

    RADIOLOGY WORKFLOW SOLUTIONS Growing “Big and Strong” together IT Development driven by Needs and used with Pleasure The imaging center for radiology-nuclear-medicine-radiotherapy Soest, radiox for short, has one of the most modern facilities for radiotherapy in Germany. The imaging center is linked to the hospital Maria in Soest since their foundation in 1998. 21 doctors and 150 employees in Soest and four further locations attend both out- patients and inpatients in close cooperation with more medical utilities in the region. Communication between the facilities is supported by the RADIOLOGY INFORMA- TION SYSTEM (RIS) from the supplier medavis. It controls the complete workflow, communicates internally with the modalities and externally with the hospital infor- mation system (HIS). This simplifies the work for the medical employees and for the patient it means to have a holistic treatment, fast diagnostical decision-making and optimal therapeutical strategies without waiting time.

  • The Path to the FAIR HANSA FAIR for More Than 600 Years, a Unique Network HANSA of Merchants Existed in Northern Europe
    The path to the FAIR HANSA FAIR For more than 600 years, a unique network HANSA of merchants existed in Northern Europe. The cooperation of this consortium of merchants for the promotion of their foreign trade gave rise to an association of cities, to which around 200 coastal and inland cities belonged in the course of time. The Hanseatic League in the Middle Ages These cities were located in an area that today encom- passes seven European countries: from the Dutch Zui- derzee in the west to Baltic Estonia in the east, and from Sweden‘s Visby / Gotland in the north to the Cologne- Erfurt-Wroclaw-Krakow perimeter in the south. From this base, the Hanseatic traders developed a strong economic in uence, which during the 16th century extended from Portugal to Russia and from Scandinavia to Italy, an area that now includes 20 European states. Honest merchants – Fair Trade? Merchants, who often shared family ties to each other, were not always fair to producers and craftsmen. There is ample evidence of routine fraud and young traders in far- ung posts who led dissolute lives. It has also been proven that slave labor was used. ̇ ̆ Trading was conducted with goods that were typically regional, and sometimes with luxury goods: for example, wax and furs from Novgorod, cloth, silver, metal goods, salt, herrings and Chronology: grain from Hanseatic cities such as Lübeck, Münster or Dortmund 12th–14th Century - “Kaufmannshanse”. Establishment of Hanseatic trading posts (Hanseatic kontors) with common privi- leges for Low German merchants 14th–17th Century - “Städtehanse”. Cooperation between the Hanseatic cit- ies to defend their trade privileges and Merchants from di erent cities in di erent enforce common interests, especially at countries formed convoys and partnerships.

  • Junior Doctor Contract
    JUNIOR DOCTOR CONTRACT Mrs Paula Eyre, Head of Medical HR Dr Guy Veall, Guardian of Safe Working Hours Why change? All parties (BMA, DH, NHS) agreed that the current (New Deal) contract was no longer fit for purpose: – Safety: does not support safe working practices – Training: does not support the educational and training needs of doctors – Pay: has perverse incentives that do not recognise or effectively reward hours being worked or the intensity of work being done. A new contract needed to be introduced that was safe, fair and effective for both doctors and employers. PROUD TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE SHEFFIELD TEACHING HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST Limitations of the New Deal contract 2002 • BMA and DDRB thought basic pay was too low compared with other graduates. • Perverse incentive: breaching EWTD limits resulted in more pay. • Significant variation of individual earnings as a trainee moved between posts and placements. • Did not harmonise education, training, and service needs. • Pay progression was based on time served, instead of performance, competence, or responsibility. PROUD TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE SHEFFIELD TEACHING HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST New Contract Implementation Timeline • October 2016 - Transition to the new terms and conditions of service for: – ST3+ in obstetrics and gynaecology training programmes. • November – December 2016 (106 doctors) - Transition to the new terms and conditions of service for: – F1s (taking up next appointment) – F2 (taking up next appointment and sharing a rota with F1s) • February – April 2017 (34 doctors) - All grades taking up next appointments in: – Psychiatry – Pathology – Paediatrics – Surgical trainees (under JCST) – Any F2 and GP trainees at ST1/2 who share a rota with trainees above in this category.

I wholeheartedly support the recommendations in this report. As we move away from the historic paradigms of primary and secondary care settings, we need to ensure that the training of our doctors continues to be aligned to the needs of the patient. This means we need to train our doctors so that they are capable of working in different, innovative, integrated care settings.
