Junior doctors deplore phasing of review body award   Ministerial group on new deal should be recalled   GPs will discuss their core services   Patients get guidance on living wills

The traditional model of surgical service is in the process of change. Classically, a consultant surgeon would have the services of an SpR, staff and associate specialist (SAS) and SHO in clinic and theatre. The implementation of the New Deal and the European Working Time Directive has led to a significant reduction in the number of hours worked by junior doctors. Consequently, nearly all SHOs are working a full-shift pattern and most SpRs are moving onto full-shift rotas to ensure out-of-hours service is maintained. This reduction in the number of junior doctors available during the normal working day has increased the development of extended roles for non-medical professionals.

The Working Time Directive (WTD) has now been applied to limit the hours worked by junior doctors. Can the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Trust (UHMBT) rise to the challenge of implementing this directive for consultant staff while maintaining clinical services and training? This summary of the WTD (see below) is taken from the Trust’s newsletter, published as the Weekly News, and edited by Rachael Whitaker, whose contribution we acknowledge.
