The RMO job is the best and safest way to get into the British healthcare system. You can earn between £1,800 to £2,250 per week worked ! The RMO plays a vital role in the medical industry - it is a position of challenges and rewards. The job description varies depending on the individual needs of the hospitals, but the main task for a RMO is risk management. This entails recognizing and assessing a change in a patient's condition and communicating that to the consultant in charge of the patient. The RMO is also responsible for leading the \"crash team\" in the event of a cardiac arrest situation. The RMO is expected to take total charge of the situation and advise the other clinicians on what action to take. As an RMO, you will deal largely with patients in a post-surgical setting. In every task though, you'll be supported by a close-working nursing team. The RMOs ordinarily work week on, week off (1:1) rotations. Whilst some variations on this pattern are in operation, it is felt that 1:1 rotations offer the safest working conditions for the doctors within the hospitals, whilst providing the doctors with consolidated blocks of work to minimise their need to travel. The hospitals that operate 1:1 rotations provide free on-duty accommodation and meals, and internet access is provided to doctors.
