  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • The work flow at the royal shrewsbury hospital was quite high. There was multiple areas that I rotated through tall he dofferent workflows but you did not stop from when you walked through the door at 9 to finished at 5. As i progressed through the years I got to completely more examination on my own
