Chief Residents | Right Decisions

Please update your RDS mobile app to version 4.7.1

We are pleased to advise that deep linking capability, enabling users to directly download individual mobile toolkits, has now been released on the RDS mobile app. When you install the update, you will see that each toolkit has a small QR code icon the header area beside the search icon – see screenshot below. Clicking on this icon will open up a window with a full-size QR code and the alternative of a short URL for sharing with users. Instructions are provided.

You may need to actively install the update to install RDS app version 4.7.1 to see this improvement. Installing this update is also strongly recommended to get the full benefits of the new contingency arrangements – specifically, that if the RDS website should fail, you will still be able to download new mobile app toolkits.

To check your current RDS version, click on the three dots bottom right of the RDS app screen. This takes you to a “More” page where you will see the version number. To install latest updates:

On iPhones – go to the Apple store, click on your profile icon top right, scroll down to see the apps waiting to be updated and update the RDS app.

On Android phones – these can vary, but try going to the Google Play store, click on your profile icon top right, click on “Manage apps and device”, select and update the RDS app.

Please get in touch with ann.wales3@nhs.scot with any questions.

The chief residents (or registrars) in DME are here to support the junior doctor team. They are here to support you during your time in DME and are very open to any improvement or well-being suggestions you may have. They can also act as a link between the junior team and consultants. They can be contacted easily by email on dmechiefresidentqeuh@gmail.com.

Their role also includes:

· Focus on Wellbeing: throughout the year a variety of events will be organised.

· Junior Doctor Forums: organise regular forums which allow you to give feedback on the department and to hear how your problems are being addressed.

· Greatix: If there is any member of staff who you think deserves a ‘Greatix’ for going above and beyond please nominate them through the above email address or put a note in the Greatix box in the registrar office (1st floor of Langlands opposite the lifts).

· Junior Doctor Newsletter: A summary of the week’s events, teaching, any important clinical bulletins, any other announcements. Worth reading!
