I believe it is nice and no you don't get a choice but you can take a housing allowance! social scene?lol errrr not that I'm aware of!!

Hi AngelinaBallerina,

What is the staff accomodation provided by Aspetar like? Do u get a choice of accomodation or is it more or less handed out? Is there also a half decent social scence happening there as well?

Thanks in advance

Hi travieso,

I am in a very similair position to you in regards to employment with Aspetar. What did you decide to do in the end and what swayed you in making that decision?

oh, the place fell apart cos you didn't get the job eh Baldrick???? Don't flatter yourself, the place is in fact up and running quite nicely!!

I know who he's talking about and I'm not sure he has the whole story. Staff accomodation is not scattered around town either unless the staff move from hospital accomodation. Staff accomodation is near to the hospital. Its a new hospital so theres going to be hiccups and the working conditions and pay are excellent. I wouldn't listen to those who just hear rumours!

...baldrick2dogs. Regarding the Canadian physio you know. Please could you let me know exactly what she didn't like about it? Or maybe you could give me her email so I could get in touch with her.

The thing is I need to make a decision by next week and I'm still in big doubt about the whole thing. I'm hearing all sorts of different comments from different people and I just don't seem to be able to draw one single conclusion from it all.

Thanks a lot

I've also heard several vey good comments on the care provided by Aspetar. It really is the hospital of choice for many ex-pats.

...thanks heaps for your replies guys!!!

Anyone else has any other info re. the hospital?

I've only been to Aspetar as a visitor but it is a beautiful facility and seems to work pleasantly and efficiently which is a nice change for Doha.

I know a Canadian physio who used to work there. she hated it and left.

I was interviewed there 2 years ago, was told I got the job and they subsequently gave the job to someone else (cheaper, less experienced) and the place fell apart.

Staff accomodation is scattered all over town and nowhere near the hospital - expect 30-45 minutes commuting each way.
