North East Thames Respiratory Post Details
It's time to update the post details of the training hospitals for Respiratory Medicine in the North East Thames sector. The information on Resp.NET website is now out-of-date. I am sure you find the information on the website regarding the different hospitals in the region helpful particularly on choosing your next training hospital and what to expect of your allocated training hospital.

Please kindly answer all the questions below relating to your current post so we could have a clear idea of the different posts in different hospitals.

There will be a section in this form to provide your feedback on your post. As ever, all comments will be treated confidentially. Anonymous, grouped data will be presented to Dr Bhowmik and the training committee and published on the website (where appropriate). If you wish to raise concerns about your current post, please contact the trainee representatives directly rather than using this form so that we can help you directly. Thank you for your time.
