2025

Tamworth was a great ED to work in as a resident and there were very supportive seniors, nursing staff and admin. There is a FACEM on both acute and minors on day and evening shifts and a registrar overnight. The workload is steady with opportunity for breaks and varied presentations. They have surgical and medical teams on site but some specialist referrals are elsewhere. It is mainly paper notes and paper referral forms for radiology and pathology but results, prescribing and discharge letters are online. My accommodation was in a motel a 5-10 minute drive away and the hospital paid taxi fares each way. This was a good location, within walking distance of shops and felt safe and clean. The only downside of the accommodation was a lack of cooking facilities.

2024

I had quiet night shifts and busy days/evening shifts. Manageable overall. Very well supported by consultants. Clinical applications portal (CAP) to access patient data, pathology and radiology. MedChart for medications. Need to do the online training (about 2 hours worth) for CAP and MedChart before starting in order to get access to them (necessary for clinical work). I stayed in a nice (but old) airbnb 20mins walk from the hospital. Hospital will pay for taxis (doesn’t feel safe walking to/from in the dark). Tamworth no longer provides car rental (unless on call) which was very inconvenient (groceries, if I ever wanted to go out/anywhere but work, etc). Overall I’d recommend the Paeds reg role at Tamworth. Not a lot to do in town! Haha but really nice team, good workload.

2022

Regular locum ED SRMO 2020-2022 Tamworth will always be let down by its accommodation which is a shame as it's a well-run ED with incredible support for the locum. Fast track and acute areas both with multiple FACEMs on during the day, all who really support the locums because they depend on them and know they have to. Treated me like a regular member of the team and got to know me despite very much on and off shifts. CT and pathology 24 hours, plenty of other locums to chat to and generally a really nice environment and team to work in. The downside is it is generally very busy, and the accommodation for short stints can be shared bathroom style but for longer runs you can get put in a townhouse on your own which is quite homely and right near the hospital. Recommended.

2025

Enjoyed working at Tamworth. Mixture of paper notes with electronic prescribing. Workload was good with friendly seniors.

2025

Good team. Enjoyable experience. Good supports.

2022

Lovely ED to work in. Would definitely go back. Consultants are very supportive and good case mix. ED is nice and clean and feels good. Have heard that some of the accommodation can be horrible, however I was given my own apartment across the road and it had all the basics you’d need.
