Welcome…
As team leader in Area 3 I’d like to welcome you to this clinical placement.
The Out~patients Department is frequently referred to as “the window
of the hospital”, being the first encounter many people have with
secondary care services. Hundreds of patients pass through Area 3 on a
weekly basis…teamwork is paramount in the clinic setting and I hope
you will be made to feel part of our team during your placement with
us. On arrival you will meet your mentor and be orientated to the
department. The clinic is staffed from 0830 to 1700, Monday to
Friday… contact us to arrange your hours of work. We also have a
comprehensive Student Orientation Package for you to work through
with your mentor…
Looking forward to meeting you,
Elaine
