Locumed as gen med rmo. Two teams as of 2022. Shared between 4 consultants - 2 local and 2 locum consultants. The local smos are great. Locum smos vary in efficiency and competency. Nursing staff super supportive, however it is important to draw lines - focus on treating your patient not treating the nursing issues.

ED functioned well, SMOs were great to work with. The nurses there were highly skilled too. Can't fault the department. The onsite accommodation (nursing quarters) was absolutely foul. Bedroom was tiny and unclean, bed very uncomfortable, kitchen was disgusting and bathrooms were shared and dated. After about 3-4 nights, I moved to a nearby motel on my own dollar as I couldn't get any rest there. I wish I negotiated for motel accommodation like the other locums did.
