Versus I remember once being the Intern on the Infectious Diseases Team at The Canberra Hospital and the Consultant insisted on using the stairs and they have this block that is like 8 or 10 stories high and we literally started at the bottom and worked our way up each level (whilst repeatedly back tracking).

For a long time, Canberra Hospital had a horrid reputation for being one of the worst places to be a junior doctor: horrendous hours, frequent after hours shifts, understaffing, leave cancelled last minute, a rotation important for your career progression swapped out without warning, awful morale.

Staffing and morale seem to be improving too because previously Canberra Hospital was a horrid place for JMOs.

Will confidently say that Canberra hospital has been a great place to be an intern and would recommend it to others.
