Have you found a list/map that shows which is London link 1/2/3?
Well done on getting in too :smile:

Yeah I tried looking for a definitive list of which hospitals are in which subgroup but I don't think such a list exists! There's a lot of layover between the london links, so you might be in the same hospital but allocated different LL's!

Thanks so much!

Sooo it seems like there's not a massive difference between the London links??
I'm not familiar with Croydon, St Helier or Epsom hospitals so can't really give any info, sorry!
And the doctors mess from what I understand is just a social space where you can have a break etc and some have couches and bedding so you can sleep there as well if you're on call, but I think many places have got rid of their mess so you won't find one everywhere.

Accommodation would not normally be IN the hospital but rather on the hospital grounds or just outside and they're basically like student halls.

The LLs all seem so similar so I'm going to do it by rotation - I'm going to go through the lists fully and see which subpref has more of the rotations that I'd like, and just go for that instead; at least I'll have a better chance of doing something that I want, rather than being in the middle of nowhere.

That being said, I'm coming from the Southwest, so anywhere is closer :biggrin:

Hello,

I will be going to South Thames Foundation School from August 2020. Could anyone detail where I find information on which hospitals are included in the various groups (i.e. London Link 1/2/3, Continuity and Coast & Country?

Many thanks

Found a useful little infographic to show the proportion of jobs in all the sub-groups - page 13 on this presentation!

Continuity :frown:

and first in bottom quartile!

It's a bit upsetting, I thought at least if I got London Links, I'd get one year in, one year out, regardless.

I saw that too and don't know how helpful it is really.
For example there is no red (LL1) in the furthest east block of colours (representing QEQM hospital) but there are definitely LL1 jobs there
