Hi everyone,
How is clinical oncology training in Cornwall and was hoping to get some insight from people who’ve worked or trained there. Will be going into Plymouth and Exeter for the following years.
I’m particularly interested in:
What the training experience is like (teaching quality, supervision, workload, exposure to different tumour sites, etc.)
How well-supported trainees feel day-to-day
Opportunities for research, audits, or portfolio development
I’d also love to hear about life outside the hospital. I know Cornwall is beautiful, but I’m curious about the practical side of living there:
What’s it like socially, especially if you’re moving from a bigger city?
Is it easy to meet people and build a community?
How manageable is transport and day-to-day living?
Any pros/cons that aren’t immediately obvious?
I’m trying to balance training quality with lifestyle, so honest experiences (good or bad!) would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance :)
