    If there’s a gap of 1 year in housjob rotations..4months done than a gap of 1ueat followed by remaining 8months.
    Also if under surgery minor rotations instead of opthalmic surgery “opthalmology “ is written..
    The house job gap is due to maternity.

    Hello Hope you all doing well. I have done my HJ at JPMC karachi. i am here to ask that is there any thing to concern about the Experience certificate writing as I have done my rotation in Accident and Emergency, Orthopaedic, General medicine and General surgery. so point is that some one told me to ask Hospital admin to Write only EMERGENCY MEDICINE in the place of Accident and Emergency. and for General surgery hospital admin also wrote ward number infront as Medicine ward 3 Surgery ward 4 and for Orthopaedic ward 14. will it be ok or should i ask them to write in order like General Surgery, General Medicine, orthopaedic Surgery and Emergency Medicine. i dont think so that it is a mater of concern to whether wrtie or not to write ward number infront and for Orthopaaedic will it be nesccesary to be write surgery infront of Orthopaedic. Will be expecting a good guidance. thanks

    I have 2 gaps in house job. 3 months maternity leave and 2 months leave in covid because of small baby. I did 3 months gynaecology then maternity leave, 3 months medicine(with a gap of 2 months in between), 3 months paediatric, 3 months surgery. Can I apply for Ireland in this case?
