Describe the teaching methods (theory, practical and projects) and assessment of students:
Stážovala som na oddelení chirurgie. Každý deň sa spravili vizity a potom sa písali ordinácie, správy a odoberali sme vzorky do laboratória. Bolo možné absolvovať aj nočné služby alebo tzv. on call služby v poobedňajších hodinách.
Mávali sme aj teachingy a taktiež mohli absolvovať školenia pre starších doktorov. Absolvovali sme simulácie, pri ktorých sme boli predstavení situácii a museli sa zachovať ako vyštudovaní doktori.

Quality of teaching in comparison with home school:
Bezpochyby som získlala viac praktických znalostí.

Keď bolo nutné, všetci boli ochotní vytisknúť, čo sme potrebovali.

Teachingy pre F1 a F2 doktorov

Bývali sme v byte, ktorý nám poskytla priamo nemocnica.

260 EUR

V byte sme bývali 2, každá mala samostatnú izbu. Bol pekne zariadený - Kuchyňa, práčka a veľká obývačka.

Najslabšie bola vybavená kuchyňa, ale myslím, že všetko sa dá kúpiť na mieste.

Ubytovanie bolo poskytnuté nemocnicou.

What are the catering options?:
V nemocnici bola jedáleň, v blízkosti ubytovania veľký supermarket.

What are the rough costs of groceries (compare with Czech prices):
Dajú sa porovnať s cenami v ČR (čo sa týka supermarketov).

Je možné zakúpiť si railcard do 26 rokov, s ktorou potom máte 30 percent zĽavu na lístky-vlaky, autobusy. Odporúčam!

What are the local transport options (public transport, cycling, on foot, rough prices):
Bývali sme hneď pri vlkaovej stanici (mesto Precot), cesta do Liverpoolu trvala 30 minút. Cesta do nemocnice trvala 15 minút pešo. Tam som MHD nevyužívala.

Podpísať nájomnú zmluvu a prevziať si nemocničnú identifikačnú kartu.
