What is ROVER  (ROlling HandoVER)?

  • It is an orientation document that complements existing rotation guides.
  • It is written by junior doctors and updated while on a rotation, it is therefore up to date and relevant.
  • Here is an overview of ROVER  from St Vincents.

Please fill in a ROVER when you finish your rotation.

Please forward your ROVER document to Michelle Bodey (michellebo@bhs.org.au). Do not worry about formatting too much, I will bash them into shape. We are after the content at the moment so please send through any information you recieved when you commenced your rotation and any information you have passed onto others when leaving your rotation.

When we have a ROVER document for a particular rotation it will be published with the unit rotation guide. This means it can be accessed by all doctors doing that rotation in the future and will not be lost (as has happenned in the past).

Thanks for your help,

Michelle & Zoe
