re NHS Hospital template

edit

The proposed merger actually originated as I was contemplating additional parameters that it seemed to be missing, such as association with a Medical School/University, closing (as well as an opening) date, better location information (fails to allow specifying England, Scotland, Wales or N.Ireland). Also the fixed link to List of hospitals in the United Kingdom is wrong now that that page is a disambiguation page to the List of hospital in the relevant country within the UK. In fact, other than Hospital Trust, the template has nothing different from the generic Infobox Hospital template and a lot absent, apart from parameter names not having a capital 1st letter.

As an example, see the change for a test case of St Thomas' Hospital from this NHS template version to this current upgraded generic infobox (note only removes some meaningless statistics and total trust employees is relevant to article on the trust, not one specific hospital in the group).

True enough; I understand your reasoning: we'll see how it goes in the next few months. Thanks for your warm welcome. Servant of Maleldil 13:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Attempt at NHS jobs template

NHS Medical Career Grades
Old System New System (Modernising Medical Careers)
Stage 1: Pre-registration House Officer (PRHO) - one year Foundation Year 1 - one year
Stage 2: Senior House Officer (SHO) - 1st year after full registration Foundation Year 2 - one year
Stage 3: SHOs - a further two to three years, followed by either

a) Specialist Registrar - four to six years, or:
b) GP Registrar - one year

Either may be extended by pursuing medical research (usually two-three years), usually with clinical duties as well
Specialty Registrar (StR) - combining basic and higher in a single grade:
a) hospital speciality: six years
b) general practice: three years

There are a few opportunities to obtain an Academic Clinical Fellowship for research.
Stage 4: Consultant or General Practitioner Senior medical practitioner, e.g. Consultant or GP
Total time in training: Old system:
Consultant - usually 9-10 years plus research
General Practitioner - usually 5 years plus research
New system:
Consultant - 8 years
GP - five years


NHS Medical Career Grades
Old System New System (Modernising Medical Careers)
Stage 1: Pre-registration House Officer (PRHO) Foundation Year 1
Stage 2: Senior House Officer (SHO) - 1st year after registration Foundation Year 2
Stage 3: SHOs 2+ years post registration and Specialist Registrar or GP Registrar Specialty Registrar (StR) - combining basic and higher
Stage 4: Consultant or General Practitioner Senior Medical Practitioner (e.g. Consultant or GP)

These are a draft update and the original version of Template:NHS medical career grades. I've attempted to summarise the similarities and differences between the two systems. All comments gratefully received! If no comments received by the end of the week, I'll alter the template along these lines. Servant of Maleldil 12:32, 18 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
