Extra spring in step for JMOs at RNSH as part of Doctors’ Day

It started with a thrilling but controversial victory over their senior colleagues in The Great Debate.

In front of a packed house, the junior medical officers (JMOs) seized the win, arguing successfully - and hilariously - that social media should hold no place in medicine.

The arguments were fast, furious and at times flippant but JMOs’ spokesperson, Dr Nick Della Marta, said the win was worth more than the certificate the debating team received.

"It (the win) means everything. We’re very proud of the whole team, we gave 125 per cent as usual and we’re glad we got the chocolates over the opposing Senior Medical Officer’s team," he said.

The debate wasn’t the only highlight of Doctors’ Day, with JMOs also taking part in a cooking demonstration, sampling the wares of a popular café and cooking school, Cornersmith, with its cooks showing the docs how to prepare some healthy breakfast and lunch ideas.

Meanwhile, the Senior Medical Officers did their best to claw back some pride in the tennis competition.
