DOCTORS FOUNDATION PROGRAMME, WHY CHOOSE NOBLES HOSPITAL
Nobles Hospital is situated in lovely open countryside on the beautiful Isle of Man, yet sufficiently close to the Island’s capital, Douglas, in order to enjoy a wide range of social activities.
Nobles Hospital provides a wide range of acute and non-acute specialities and we believe it offers prospective trainees the following:
- A five day Induction Programme (including ALERT and ILS training in our Clinical Skills Centre for those without current certificates) and social events followed by two days work shadowing
- IMPACT training and ALS in Foundation Year 2.
- Weekly bleep-free Foundation teaching sessions including regular clinical skills teaching. IMPACT and ALS training for F2 doctors.
- Scenario simulation involving a Laerdal simulation mannequin SimMan 3G
- Opportunities to attend other teaching sessions
- An excellent Library and information resources
- Free high quality and modern single accommodation (saving you in excess of £4,500) – and no cleaning or utility bills to worry about!
- Accommodation is available for couples and small families too for a modest subsidised rent – and again, no cleaning or utility bills to worry about!
- ‘Linked’ applications through the national recruitment scheme are likely to be granted
- Isle of Man has an advantageous taxation strategy compared to the UK – earn more and keep more in order to reduce your debt burden quicker. See www.gov.im/treasury/incometax/sections/employers/ratesandallowances.xml for further details.
