There is a meeting that you have to attend. There are also many systems for which you need to get usernames and passwords:

• Hopefully during this meeting much of what follows can be "ticked off".

Username and password.

• Allows you to log into the Trust's computer system.
• It is important that you put on the form somewhere that you want access to the "Anaesthetic Common Drive", because they keep on forgetting to do this.
• No patient-identifiable data should be saved onto the hard drive of the computer you are using - it should all be saved onto your personal network drive (which will be assigned, as well as, hopefully, the common drive)
• The Common Drive can be accessed by other anaesthetists, so is useful if you want to share a file. Beware that it is accessible (with a bit of work) by anyone who logs on, not just anaesthetists. You have your own personal drive which nobody else should be able to access.

Username and password.

• Allows you to order investigations (including X-Rays) and view test results.

Username and password.

• Allows you to view X-Rays.

• Allows you access to General, Orthopaedic and Head & Neck Theatres (and the latter two's changing rooms). This may be given at the Trust's induction, but Sam Harris in Main Theatres (i.e. not our secretary Sam) can provide them.

• Get this from the anaesthetic secretaries, or just ask an anesthetist and marvel at their non-verbal communication.

• As well as the anaesthetic office, there are places that do not use swipe cards, but key-pads, e.g. Main Theatres & Day Surgery changing rooms and maternity Wards. There is a code for the Paediatric wards, but they tend to be very protective over it - it is normally easier just to buzz and say you are the anaesthetist.

Username and password.

• Our rota is online at www.mphar.com Contact Boris Donovan and he will provide you with a username and password. There is a free app for the iPhone - FAQ: server is musgrove.clwrota.com/app

Username and password.

• A repository for past lectures, recipes for operations, contact, etc. You do not need a password, but it does give a few extra goodies like contact numbers. Contact me, Ian Sidwell, and I will provide you with these.

Username and password.

• Trauma Lists are electronic and can be accessed on the intranet. Contact the Trauma Coordinator, and she will provide you with these.

• Fill in a QPark form and take it to their office (outside the Duchess Building) with your driver's license and bank details. If you live nearby, you may need to reiterate you do on-call.

• You can access the department calendar using a computer, iPhone, etc. Instructions are at http://195.105.0.110/tst/Anaesthesia/Calendar Instructions.html

• This is done online on the intranet - at http://mollie.tst.nhs.uk. Instructions for access can be found at http://195.105.0.110/tst/Anaesthesia/Mollie Guide - Child Protection Level 2.pdf. This is only available when connected to the intranet.

The Anaesthetic Department is situated in the old building. The main door from the corrider after hours and the bck entrance from theatre are accessed with your normal swipe card.

• The Department is run by Joanne and Sam, who produce the weekly rota (with help from Boris Donovan), answer questions and generally know what's going on.
• In the secretaries' office are also leave forms.

• There is a door to a room next to the secretaries' office, which is where the Boss lives.

• The big room is where the rest of the Consultants live, and is also the room where meetings and tutorials are held.
• Leave that has been approved is posted on a wall (next to the xray box) in this room.

• There is also a trainees' room, which is through a door to the right (then first door on the right again) as you come into the department from the corridor. It requires code that is provided by Joanne and Sam.
