Swapping posts!!!

I had an email from a new doctor to the scheme who starts in August asking if he could swap his rotation. The answer is a categorical NO!!!

The Deanery say we can't, we don't have the capacity to arrange swaps, personnel and practices have already been informed about the doctors that are coming so I am afraid that the answer is NO SWAPS!

Well, to be honest we do occasionally arrange swaps under limited circumstances. We maybe able to swap GP posts (as long as it does not upset the rota etc etc), we occasionally make mistakes in our rota planning (ie put two doctors into one post, miss doctors off the rota) and if we have made a mistake will ask doctors to swap inorder to rectify our mistakes and we have also arranged swaps inorder to make room for doctors requiring remedial or extra training. But that is it - the usual answer to requests to swap is NO.
