Each Concentrate revision guide is packed with essential information, key cases, revision tips, exam Q&As, and more.

Working Time Directive

Four major new initiatives being implemented nationally are set to have a considerable impact on the nature of surgical training in the UK. When fully operational, these developments will alter the face of surgical training: the European Working Time Directive (EWTD), Modernising Medical Careers (MMC), the Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum Programme (ISCP) and the new MRCS examination.

Working Time Directive

The implementation of the European Working Time Directive (EWTD) has changed the way surgical training is delivered in the European Union. The Jaeger ruling by the European Court of Justice states that health service employers must guarantee an 11-hour rest period within any 24-hour time period, while the SiMAP ruling has enshrined the concept of all time spent at work being classified as working time. To comply with these rulings, as of August 2004 most NHS Trusts across the UK have implemented shift systems for junior doctors. Numerous factors influence an individual's ability to adapt to working shifts and this has major implications both for patients and for surgical trainees.
