York is a beautiful and historic city with many attractions. It has excellent rail links and easy access to the North York Moors, North Sea Coast, Yorkshire Dales and the Peak District.
York Hospital is a 739-bedded hospital. A wide range of specialities is located on site, with the exception of Neurosurgery, Cardiothoracic Surgery and Plastic Surgery. The adjacent Bootham Park Hospital houses the PCT’s mental health department.
The Department of Medicine’s inpatient service incorporates 171 beds, including a Medical Admissions Unit, Coronary Care Unit, an acute stroke unit and 5 in-patient wards based on medical specialities. A combined Oncology/Haematology in-patient ward will open in the near future. The Renal Dialysis Unit, a Neurosciences Unit, a coronary angiography suite and the Dermatology Outpatient Unit have all been refurbished in the recent past.
There are close links with other specialities including Accident and Emergency, Intensive Care, the Surgical Unit, Chronic and Acute Pain Management Services and Radiology. CT scanning and MRI are provided on site.
The Trust is dedicated to providing high quality teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. There is dedicated PACES teaching in addition to grand rounds, audit and governance meetings. Each department runs speciality-based teaching sessions. MRCP pass rates have been consistently high for SHOs training in York.
York Hospitals NHS Trust is one of the leading partners in the new Hull York Medical School (HYMS), which opened in September 2003. HYMS students begin their clinical exposure very early in their first year. There are opportunities for interested junior doctors to develop formal teaching skills with the HYMS students.
The Learning and Research Centre funded through a HYMS capital investment of approx £2.7m, opened in December 2005 on the York Hospital site. The purpose built facilities on the York Hospital site offer fantastic learning opportunities.
