Well there's nothing like making things happen, within a minute of talking about where I could work a desk and chair appeared.  Brilliant! I share the office with Brian the IT manager, with Colin the 'blogger' who logs the stories of the patients, and with the IT server and switch.

Everyone downs tools at 10ish for 'break tea' or tea break, brilliant way of knowledge sharing and finding out what's going on, I also got to meet people I didn't meet yesterday which was great.
Everyone also comes together for lunch too, it's a really sociable place.  There isn't really much of a hierarchy (v interesting comparison to usual way of working!) with everyone working as a team - it also means it's really clear for everyone to see how they contribute to the mission statement of the organisation.

Been having quite a lot of power cuts - there are lots of problems with electricity; however we're very lucky at the hosptial as there is some back up power available.  In the guest house this powers the lights and wireless router but not the fridge or cooker!

Spent some time in outpatients and also with Colin who captures the stories of each of the patients - some are here just by chance, hearing about the hospital through knowing someone who knows it exists.  Without the chance encounters the patients would die. Others are luckier because the mothers gave birth in hospital so were referred to the specialist unit here.
