Day in the Life

Multi-disciplinary rounds give you a chance to advocate for your patients, and by the time you hand over again, you have done meaningful work that makes a real difference to the people in your care.

Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.
