Working Time Directive

The European Working Time Directive (EWTD) has required all departments to re think staffing arrangements to provide out-of-hours ser vices. Large departments with man y junior doctors can continue to have oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) SHOs covering the out-of-hours ser vice without exceeding the constraints of EWTD. For smaller departments the choice has been either to close the on-call service and centralise it in a larger department or to have a specialty cross-cover arrangement. The problems of cross-cover might be more apparent in OMFS than in other hospital specialties due to other medical staff possessing a negligible knowledge of dental pathology.
