I did not work at AVH....students were not sent there, we were allocated to wards at the Royal or Queens Park.
I liked Queens Park, even though the buildings were old, the staff were friendlier.
The food was good in both hospitals, probably because the food was prepared and made on the premises.
I remember looking after a pregnant lady who had a craving for raw, unpeeled carrots.
I could go down to the kitchen and get them for her.
I don't think that would be possible now..

When the kitchens were baking the Christmas cakes for the wards they used to,send the off cuts, the crispy ends to the wards for the nurses to eat(this was at QPH) yum...lovely.
