The posts will provide exposure to the whole range of trauma activity. There are two on call rotas and the hospitals are grouped as Heartlands, Good Hope and Solihull (HGS) and Queen Elizabeth (QE). On calls are therefore split as QE only or alternating between Heartlands hospital and Good Hope hospital if working on the HGS rota.
