Student doctors are welcomed to the ENT department in Rotherham. ENT teaching in Rotherham is rated the best in the region (4.6 out of 5, average for south Yorkshire 3.9, 2015 phase IIIB specialty report). During the 8 week IIIB specialties attachment students have 11.5 hours of timetabled small-group ENT teaching with a consultant supervisor. During these sessions teaching covers all aspects of emergency and elective ENT conditions. The sessions culminate with a practical session on cricothyroidotomy where every student will have the opportunity to practice the procedure on manikins and receive a certificate of training for their portfolios.
Students are encouraged to take an active part in the department. Two past students have completed audits which they have gone on to present at regional meetings.
