 Weekly general ROTAs are created by the secretaries that show everything that everyone is doing in the department. These are really useful not only for showing what you need to do, but also to find out who might be free for checking or to cover things. You will be emailed them, but you can also find them on the server at "S:\TR15\xraysrv\Public\Timetables" and on teams in the "Cornwall Radiologists" team. I've found it helpful to set the current rota as a tab in teams.
+===== Morning Meeting =====
+These happen every day from 9-9.30, in person in the seminar room and on Teams. They serve three purposes: -
+  - Joint review of difficult cases.
+  - Demonstration of interesting cases.
+  - Feedback.
+These can be really useful - don't hesitate to bring any cases you are wanting a bit more talking through or anything interesting you have found. It is always well recieved.
 ===== Hot Hub =====

 Portables are a bit random in Truro. The pathway is more or less "call the reg room and see if there is a random reg there that can do the scan". A full guide [[truro:portable_ultrasound|here.]]
+===== Twilights =====
+Truro Twilights are relatively supported, but can be pretty busy. In general these are again in the HotHub covering phones and IP CT and MRI reporting from 1700-2130, with a consultant from 1700-1900. Depending on how things go, the consultant then may go home but remain contactable/able to do some remote reporting for the rest of the shift, or just stay in/online if it is busy.
+Monday-Thursday Twilight days are 0900-2130, though you are supposed to have a quiet afternoon and are encouraged to take a long break (though this has not been entirely consistent). Friday is 1300-2130.
+===== Weekends =====
+Weekends again are run almost entirely from HotHub, though with slightly different staffing and hours: for weekends there are 2 consultants and a registrar. The consultants do 0900-1700, and the registrar 1300-2130, though again consultants hay stay around to help out if you are struggling. This 1300-2130 day also applies to bank holidays.
+Over the weekend sonographer morning ultrasound IP lists and IR cover continues to run, so you can continue to direct people to these services, and should not end up having to do ultrasounds yourself.
+===== Fluoroscopy =====
+A bit unusually almost all registrars passing through Truro will have to do some Fluro lists - specifically Barium swallows. Thankfully, the local protocol for this is very simple and straightforward and you will generally only get easy limited examinations to do. These are up in the tower block Fluro rooms at the far end. If you haven't done these before you will be rota'ed for some supervised lists first and signed off by Christine Bloor before being let loose on your own lists. Get all your reports checked by one of the GI guys.
