Welcome!
This area is designed to provide general
information for anyone interested in training in Geriatric Medicine in South
East Scotland, and some more specific resources for current trainees.
Trainees in Geriatric and General (Internal) Medicine in SE Scotland have the
opportunity to train in both peripheral and central hospitals. The
peripheral hospitals are: St John's in Livingston,
Queen Margaret in Dunfermline and Borders General. The central hospitals are:
(Acute) Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and Western General Hospital;
(Rehabilitation) Royal Victoria Hospital and Liberton.
As well as educational opportunities during clinical attachments, those
undergoing specialty training in Geriatric Medicine should attend our regular
teaching sessions (one day every two months approximately). These are based on a
three-year rolling programme devised from the curriculum. Trainees also attend
training sessions in General (Internal) Medicine (about one day every two
months).
