Ballina is a small and moderately busy ED that is pleasant to work in. Day shifts feature 1-2 RMOs with either a FACEM or a CMO on during the day and the evening. Nights are typically solo. The facility itself is reasonably small and dated but both the nursing and medical teams while I was there were amazing. There are only iSTAT bloods on site and formals are sent to Lismore which can take hours. There is x-ray and CT during hours, but after 6pm there's x-ray on-call, and no regular access to CT which is annoying given the patient load. Accommodation across the road at the Homestead Motel was really spacious with a generous room with kitchen, ensuite, balcony, living room area and public pool - I highly recommend it. The best coffee in town that I found was a The Gallery. Overall a really pleasant locum!
