Depending on the consultant, he or she may do clinics or practical procedure lists which you could observe e.g. bronchoscopy, colonoscopy etc.

Wear comfortable shoes and bring a bottle of water - they do pretty long ward rounds.

Ahhh I see. Hopefully it should be interesting. I have no idea what to wear tho. So stressful haha
