Interning changes

There's been a few changes to the intern program whilst I've been in Wales! First of all I'm starting a 13 month course instead of the usual 12 to cover various holidays and locum on the services. It will hopefully give me extra time to figure out what I'm doing and get me settled in too. And any more time in Wales and I'd go insane.

Currently there are 3 interns who share the load between them. This means 1 week in 3 is nights, and they work every 3rd weekend. I think someone may have mentioned the working time directive as on a busy weekend the on call vet may only have 8 hours sleep total! So now there are 4 new interns.

This means we will only be working 1 in 4 weeks of nights (only 12 weeks? Doesn't sounds like a lot!) but to cover the weekend efficiently we are going to be working 1 in 2 weekends. Basically if anyone is looking for me, it's a good bet that I'll be at work.

And finally a big YAY! to all the final years who passed their exams, including my Lab Partner from first year. Well done!
