A friendly hospital where you are well supported. The interaction between civilian and military personnel makes for a very lively and varied working environment. The induction programme is great and will give you practical knowledge and skills about how to start your F1 job. Amongst other things, you get paired with FY2 mentor and hospital runs a Simley Park simulation sessions. In this you simulate to get a ward round, on call and peri arrest scenario all with a hospital specific focus (getting used to FPH s phone/computer systems etc). There is an active programme looking after doctors' welfare which is a massive plus. A great place to work, I recommend it highly. Feedback
Everyone will tell you about how welcoming and friendly Frimley is, but for an FY1 starting out on the first job, you need more than that. Frimley has a fantastic set up for the FY1 teaching and mentoring system which works wonder to facilitate the move from university to work. As well as an active onsite Mess and Gym, there are plenty of opportunities to build on portfolios needed for core training. Despite being further out than some of the hospitals, it is still very easy to live in West london and commute out-overall a great choice for F1 Feedback
Lots of effort put into emphasising how welcome we are and it's ok to ask questions which is encouraging The induction week was very well organised and I have felt very welcome. Thanks! I am excited and nervous but my overall impression is that Frimley is an extremely supported environment Definitely feeling less nervous about ward rounds and working independently after attending SIMley health Every day of induction including SIMley Health was very well organised, showing me that the trusts cares about our teaching and mental health wellbeing and are looking out for us as new starters. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly and keen to have us on board Comments from current trainees
