About On-Calls
The on-calls can be very busy and the Anaesthetic consultants will often be in the hospital with you.
If you are holding 1201 you need to be aware of how many clinical areas are running.
The Obs reg is expected to help on the General side but must be free to go to Labour ward at anytime
SHOs cannot intubate alone in A&E unless extreme emergency and the Anaesthetic consultant is on their way in.
1213 Bleep will get pain calls out of hours. The Pain nurse should handover at 1700 and attend morning handover. Handover information is left in Theatre 7 (Emergency theatre).
